A vulnerability has been discovered in webcalendar, a PHP based
multi-user calendar, that can lead to the disclosure of sensitive
information to unauthorised parties.

the old stable distribution (woody) does not contain the webcalendar package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.45-4sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.45-6.

We recommend that you upgrade your webcalendar package.

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

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
