This vulnerability could be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the ident2 daemon (by default, the 'identd' user).
For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.03-3woody1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you update your ident2 package.");
