Detail
| Using older versions of procmail it was possible to make procmail crash by sending it signals. On systems where procmail is installed setuid this could be exploited to obtain unauthorized privileges. This problem has been fixed in version 3.20 by the upstream maintainer, included in Debian unstable, and was ported back to version 3.15.2 which is available for for the stable Debian GNU/Linux 2.2. We recommend that you upgrade your procmail package 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.
