http://secunia.com/advisories/16810/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Turquoise SuperStat 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/5703/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Turquoise SuperStat, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the date
parser, which uses "sscanf()" to read the month value. This can be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow and may allow arbitrary code
execution.

Successful exploitation may require that the user connects to a
malicious NNTP server.

The vulnerability affects version 2.2.3. Prior versions may also be
affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.2.4.
