Subject: [SECURITY] New versions of sysklogd released
Debian Security Advisory security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Michael Stone September 19, 2000
Package: sysklogd Vulnerability: root exploit Debian-specific: no
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in syslogd and klogd. A
local root exploit is possible, and remote exploits may be possible
in some cases (though we are not currently aware of a remote
exploit.)
Fixed packages are available in version 1.3-31.slink1 for Debian
2.1 (slink) and version 1.3-33.1 for Debian 2.2 (potato). We
recommend upgrading your sysklogd package immediately.
