Package        : icecast-server
Problem type   : remote root exploit (and others)
Debian-specific: no

The icecast-server (a streaming music server) package as distributed
in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 has several security problems:

* if a client added a / after the filename of a file to be downloaded
  the server would crash
* by escaping dots as %2E it was possible to circumvent security measures
  and download arbitrary files
* there were several buffer overflows that could be exploited to
  gain root access

These have been fixed in version 1.3.10-1, and we strongly recommend
that you upgrade your icecast-server package immediately.

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.


Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato

  Potato was released for alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and sparc.
