Detail
| Nicolas Boullis found some security problems in the wmtv package (a dockable video4linux TV player for windowmaker) which is distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2. With the current version of wmtv, the configuration file is written back as the superuser, and without any further checks. A mailicious user might use that to damage important files This problem has been fixed in version 0.6.5-2potato2 for the stable distribution by dropping privileges as soon as possible and only regaining them where required. In the current testing/unstable distribution this problem has been fixed in version 0.6.5-9 and above by not requiring privileges anymore. Both contain fixes for two potential buffer overflows as well. We recommend that you upgrade your wmtv 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.
