    Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa reported a buffer overflow in
    DHTRoutingTableDeserializer.cc (CVE-2009-3575) and a format string
    vulnerability in the AbstractCommand::onAbort() function in
    src/AbstractCommand.cc (CVE-2009-3617).
  
Impact :

    A remote, unauthenticated attacker could possibly execute arbitrary
    code with the privileges of the user running the application or cause a
    Denial of Service (application crash).
  
Workaround :

    Do not use DHT (CVE-2009-3575) and disable logging (CVE-2009-3617)."
