Debian: 'sendfile' vulnerability
Summary
Colin Phipps and Daniel Kobras discovered and fixed several serious
bugs in the saft daemon `sendfiled' which caused it to drop privileges
incorrectly. Exploiting this a local user can easily make it execute
arbitrary code under root privileges.
We recommend you upgrade your sendfile packages immediately.
