Package : nbd
Version : 1:3.15.2-3+deb9u1
CVE ID : CVE-2022-26495
Debian Bugs : #1003863 #1006915

An integer overflow (with a resultant heap-based buffer overflow)
was discovered in the nbd Network Block Device server. A value of
0xffffffff in the name length field could have caused a zero-sized
buffer to be allocated for the name, resulting in a write to a
dangling pointer.

For Debian 9 "Stretch", this problem has been fixed in version
1:3.15.2-3+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your nbd packages.
