Debian Security Advisory DSA-072-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman
August 10, 2001
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : groff
Problem type : printf format attack
Debian-specific: no
Zenith Parse found a security problem in groff (the GNU version of
troff). The pic command was vulnerable to a printf format attack
which made it possible to circumvent the -S option and execute
arbitrary code.
This has been fixed in version 1.15.2-2.
wget url

Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
- ---------------------------------
