"An exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the
LoadEncoding functionality of the R programming language. A specially
crafted R script can cause a buffer overflow resulting in a memory
corruption. An attacker can send a malicious R script to trigger this
vulnerability.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this problem has been fixed in version
2.15.1-4+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your r-base packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
