"A set of problems have been discovered in Hylafax, a flexible
client/server fax software distributed with many GNU/Linux
distributions. Quoting SecurityFocus the problems are in detail :

  - A format string vulnerability makes it possible for
    users to potentially execute arbitrary code on some
    implementations. Due to insufficient checking of input,
    it's possible to execute a format string attack. Since
    this only affects systems with the faxrm and faxalter
    programs installed setuid, Debian is not vulnerable.
  - A buffer overflow has been reported in Hylafax. A
    malicious fax transmission may include a long scan line
    that will overflow a memory buffer, corrupting adjacent
    memory. An exploit may result in a denial of service
    condition, or possibly the execution of arbitrary code
    with root privileges.

  - A format string vulnerability has been discovered in
    faxgetty. Incoming fax messages include a Transmitting
    Subscriber Identification (TSI) string, used to identify
    the sending fax machine. Hylafax uses this data as part
    of a format string without properly sanitizing the
    input. Malicious fax data may cause the server to crash,
    resulting in a denial of service condition.

  - Marcin Dawcewicz discovered a format string
    vulnerability in hfaxd, which will crash hfaxd under
    certain circumstances. Since Debian doesn't have hfaxd
    installed setuid root, this problem cannot directly lead
    into a vulnerability. This has been fixed by Darren
    Nickerson, which was already present in newer versions,
    but not in the potato version.

These problems have been fixed in version 4.0.2-14.3 for the old
stable distribution (potato), in version 4.1.1-1.1 for the current
stable distribution (woody) and in version 4.1.2-2.1 for the unstable
distribution (sid)."
