Detail
| It was discovered that loop-aes-utils, tools for mounting and manipulating filesystems, didn't drop privileged users and groups in the correct order in the mount and umount commands. This could potentially allow a local user to gain additional privileges. For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 2.12r-15+etch1. For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in version 2.12p-4sarge2. We recommend that you upgrade your loop-aes-utils package. |
