Ivan Fratric of the Google Security Team has found a buffer overflow in the C implementation of the apply_delta() function, used when accessing Git objects in pack files. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw to cause the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running a Git server or client based on Dulwich.
For the oldoldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.6.1-1+deb6u1.
