CVE-2011-1022 libcgroup did not properly check the origin of Netlink messages, allowing a local attacker to send crafted Netlink messages which could lead to privilege escalation. The oldstable distribution (lenny) does not contain libgroup packages. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.36.2-3+squeeze1. For the testing distribution (wheezy) and unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your libcgroup packages.
