Detail
| Thorsten Kukuck discovered a problem in the ypserv program which is part of the Network Information Services (NIS). A memory leak in all versions of ypserv prior to 2.5 is remotely exploitable. When a malicious user could request a non-existing map the server will leak parts of an old domainname and mapname. This problem has been fixed in version 3.9-6.1 for the current stable distribution (woody), in version 3.8-2.1 for the old stable distribution (potato) and in version 3.9-6.2 for the unstable distribution (sid). We recommend that you upgrade your nis package. 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.
