> Fw: AOLserver 3.0 AOLserver 3.0 vulnerability

The 3.0 vulnerability refers to a buffer overflow error that can be the focus
of a DOS attack. The error occurs while parsing the authorization header; the
buffer is created on the stack in ParseAuth() and is potentially overflowed
in Ns_HtuuDecode(). This was reported and patched (thanks to Adam Zell!) for
the 3.4pre1 release.
