Description:

Closes: 418662
Changes: 
 mixmaster (3.0b2-5) unstable; urgency=high
 .
   * Backport a fix from upstream:
     In two functions in keymgt.c we had allocated a buffer of 33 bytes
     when if fact we were using one more - 34 - bytes.  This buffer
     overflow is exposed when building with gcc 4.x, it never was exposed
     with previous compilers because they apparently layed out the stack
     differently.
     The result of this buffer overflow is that a single 0-byte will be
     written at the end of the buffer.  At that position on the stack
     there is (at least in the previous build) a saved local variable
     from a calling function.  This local variable is a pointer to a
     BUFFER struct and this pointer has its least significant byte
     set to zero.
     This prevents mixmaster from properly decrypting incoming type2
     messages.  It's not likely that this can be exploited to execute
     arbitrary code, tho evidence or argument to the contrary are of course
     welcome.
