Amd Buffer Overflow for x86 linux
There is a remotely exploitable buffer overflow condition in the amd daemon under several operating systems. Amd is a daemon that automatically mounts filesystems whenever a file or directory within that filesystem is accessed. Filesystems are automatically unmounted when they appear to have become quiescent. The vulnerability is in the log functions of the daemon.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to the latest version of am-utils and apply the patch provided by the vendor.
