Debian 2.2 DSA-017-1 Critical Jazip Local Access Threat

With older versions of jazip a user could gain root access for membersof the floppy group to the local machine. The interface doesn't run
as root anymore and this very exploit was prevented. The program now
also truncates DISPLAY to 256 characters if it is bigger, which closes
the buffer overflow (within xforms).

We recommend you upgrade your jazip package immediately.

wget url
