Debian: DSA-1912-2: New advi packages fix arbitrary code execution
Summary
For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.6.0-13+lenny2.
Due to a bug in the archive system, the fix for the oldstable
distribution (etch) cannot be released at the same time. These problems
will be fixed in version 1.6.0-12+etch2, once it is available.
For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.0-14+b1.
We recommend that you upgrade your advi package.
