Debian: splitvt local root exploit
Summary
Package: splitvt
Vulnerability: local root exploit
Debian-specific: no
This is an update to the previous splitvt advisory. The previous release
had incorrrect addresses for the updates for Debian GNU/Linux potato.
The version of splitvt distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 (a.k.a. slink),
as well as in the frozen (potato) and unstable (woody) distributions, is
vulnerable to a local buffer overflow. This could be exploited to give a
shell running as root.
This has been fixed in versions 1.6.3-7.0slink1 and 1.6.3-7.1, and we
recommend that you update your splitvt package immediately.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 alias slink
This version of Debian was released only for Intel ia32, the Motorola
