Debian Updated package.

Debian Security Advisory DSA 1267-1                    security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/                         Moritz Muehlenhoff

Package        : webcalendar
Vulnerability  : missing input sanitising
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2007-1343

It was discovered that WebCalendar, a PHP-based calendar application,
insufficiently protects an internal variable, which allows remote file
inclusion.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.45-4sarge6.

The upcoming stable distribution (etch) no longer contains webcalendar
packages.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your webcalendar package.


Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        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.

  its next update.
