This function is part of the XDR encoder/decoder derived from Sun's RPC implementation. Depending upon the application, this vulnerability can cause buffer overflows and could possibly be exploited to execute arbitrary code.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.12-2.5.
The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain dietlibc packages.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.22-2.
We recommend that you upgrade your dietlibc packages.");
