(ncpfs: Buffer overflow in ncplogin and ncpmap)

    Karol Wiesek discovered a buffer overflow in the handling of the
    '-T' option in the ncplogin and ncpmap utilities, which are both
    installed as SUID root by default.
  
Impact :

    A local attacker could trigger the buffer overflow by calling one
    of these utilities with a carefully crafted command line, potentially
    resulting in execution of arbitrary code with root privileges.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
