Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200807-15 (Pan: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

Pavel Polischouk reported a boundary error in the PartsBatch class when
processing .nzb files.

Impact :

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted .nzb
file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running the application.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
