A malicious user could overflow a fixed-size buffer and may cause the program to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.08-8woody3. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your xpcd-svga package immediately. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
