Detail
| Zorgon found several buffer overflows in cfsd, a daemon that pushes encryption services into the Unix(tm) file system. We are not yet sure if these overflows can successfully be exploited to gain root access to the machine running the CFS daemon. However, since cfsd can easily be forced to die, a malicious user can easily perform a denial of service attack to it. This problem has been fixed in version 1.3.3-8.1 for the stable Debian distribution and in version 1.4.1-5 for the testing and undtable distribution of Debian. We recommend that you upgrade your cfs 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.
