Detail
| Daniel Kobras has discovered and fixed a problem in sendfiled which caused the daemon not to drop privileges as expected when sendnig notification mails. Exploiting this a local user can easily make it execute arbitrary code under root privileges. We recommend that you upgrade your sendfile packages immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
