Description: | Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libnids' package(s) announced via the DSA-410 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: A vulnerability was discovered in libnids, a library used to analyze IP network traffic, whereby a carefully crafted TCP datagram could cause memory corruption and potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user executing a program which uses libnids (such as dsniff).

We recommend that you update your libnids package. Affected Software/OS: 'libnids' package(s) on Debian 3.0. Solution: Please install the updated package(s).
