[SECURITY] New version of splitvt released (update)



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian Security Advisory                             security@debian.org

Package: splitvt
Vulnerability: local root exploit
Debian-specific: no

This is an update to the previous splitvt advisory. The previous release
had incorrrect addresses for the updates for Debian GNU/Linux potato.


The version of splitvt distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 (a.k.a. slink),
as well as in the frozen (potato) and unstable (woody) distributions, is
vulnerable to a local buffer overflow.  This could be exploited to give a
shell running as root.

This has been fixed in versions 1.6.3-7.0slink1 and 1.6.3-7.1, and we
recommend that you update your splitvt package immediately.


Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 alias slink
- - --------------------------------

  This version of Debian was released only for Intel ia32, the Motorola
  680x0, the Alpha, and the Sun Sparc architecture.
