Debian GNU/Linux Advisory: vbox3

A bug was discovered in vbox3, a voice response system for
isdn4linux, whereby root privileges were not properly relinquished
before executing a user-supplied tcl script. By exploiting this
vulnerability, a local user could gain root privileges.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has
been fixed in version 0.1.7.1.

For the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in
version 0.1.8.

We recommend that you update your vbox3 package.
