Detail
| A previous man-db update (DSA-364-1) fixed buffer overruns in ult_src, a part of the "mandb" command that finds the canonical source file for each man page. However, this update introduced an error in the routine that resolves hardlinks: depending on the filenames of hardlinked man pages, that routine might itself overrun allocated memory, causing a segmentation fault. For the current stable distribution (woody), this problem has been fixed in version 2.3.20-18.woody.4. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.1-13. We recommend that you update your man-db package. |
