Detail

A regression was discovered in the original patch addressing this issue for WordNet, which this update fixes. For reference the text of the original advisory follows.

Rob Holland discovered several programming errors in WordNet, an electronic lexical database of the English language. These flaws could allow arbitrary code execution when used with untrusted input, for example when WordNet is in use as a back end for a web application.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1:2.1-4+etch2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1:3.0-13.

We recommend that you upgrade your wordnet package.
