Debian alert DSA-2001-3 addresses SQL injection vulnerability in mail-server software, enhancing the overall protection and reliability of the system.
The trac-git package released in DSA-1990-1 had a wrong dependency that could not be satisfied in Debian stable

Summary

Stefan Goebel discovered that the Debian version of trac-git, the Git
add-on for the Trac issue tracking system, contains a flaw which
enables attackers to execute code on the web server running trac-git
by sending crafted HTTP queries.

The old stable distribution (etch) does not contain a trac-git package.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.0.20080710-3+lenny2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) and the testing distribution
(squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.0.20090320-1.
