VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://www.secunia.com/advisories/10549/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
nd 0.x

DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in nd, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerabilities are reportedly caused due to boundary errors when
handling long URLs, authentication realms, and lock-tokens. This can
be exploited by a malicious server to execute arbitrary code on a
vulnerable system.

Successful exploitation requires that a user is tricked into
connecting to a malicious server.

The vulnerabilities affect version 0.8.1 and prior.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 0.8.2:
