This vulnerability can only be exploited when an attacker is able to inject more than 512 bytes of data into socat's argument.

A vulnerable scenario would be a CGI script that reads data from clients and uses (parts of) this data as argument for a socat invocation.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.0.1-1+lenny1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.7.1.3-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your socat package.");
