Vulnerable:

More information:

Fang-Pen Lin discovered a stack-based buffer-overflow flaw in ZeroMQ, a lightweight messaging kernel library. A remote, unauthenticated client connecting to an application using the libzmq library, running with a socket listening with CURVE encryption/authentication enabled, can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.5+dfsg-2+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your zeromq3 packages.
