catalog override disparity

2003-04-03 Thread Debian Installer
There are disparities between your recently accepted upload and the
override file for the following file(s):

catalog_1.03-7_all.deb: package says priority is optional, override says extra.

Either the package or the override file is incorrect.  If you think
the override is correct and the package wrong please fix the package
so that this disparity is fixed in the next upload.  If you feel the
override is incorrect then please reply to this mail and explain why.

[NB: this is an automatically generated mail; if you replied to one
like it before and have not received a response yet, please ignore
this mail.  Your reply needs to be processed by a human and will be in
due course, but until then the installer will send these automated
mails; sorry.]

Bug#187481: moxftp arbitrary code execution poc/advisory

2003-04-03 Thread Martin Schulze
Package: moxftp
Version: 2.2-18
Severity: grave
Tags: security

Unfortunately I am currently unable to discover the real problem
behind this potential exploit.  I'm not even sure if it works
on Linux.

FreeBSD people simply marked this package FORBIDDEN, but didn't
fix the problem either.  *sigh*

Regards,

Joey
