Debian alert: New man-db packages released
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-028-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze February 9, 2001 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : man-db Vulnerability : format string vulnerability Type : local exploit Debian-specific: no Styx has reported that the program `man' mistakenly passes malicious strings (i.e. containing format characters) through routines that were not meant to use them as format strings. Since this could cause a segmentation fault and privileges were not dropped it may lead to an exploit for the 'man' user. We recommend you upgrade your man-db package immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration. Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato - ------------------------------------ Potato was released for the alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and sparc architectures.
