Colin Watson discovered that the update for stable relased in
DSA-2122-1 did not complete address the underlying security issue in
all possible scenarios.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.7-18lenny7.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your glibc packages.
