- ------------------------------------------------------------------------Package        : zabbix
Vulnerability  : programming error
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2007-6210
Debian Bug     : 452682

Bas van Schaik discovered that the agentd process of Zabbix, a network
monitor system, may run user-supplied commands as group id root, not
zabbix, which may lead to a privilege escalation.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version
1:1.1.4-10etch1

zabbix is not included in the oldstable distribution (sarge).

We recommend that you upgrade your zabbix packages.
