Google security engineer Ryan Sleevi found a vulnerability in the NetScape Portable Runtime Library (NSPR). NSPR allocated memory without specific checks, making it possible for remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service or execute arbitrary code.

For Debian 6 ‘Squeeze’, this issue have been fixed in nspr version 4.8.6-1+squeeze3. We recommend that you upgrade your nspr packages.
