Debian: DSA 318-1 Urgent: Lyskom-Server Denial-of-Service Flaw

Calle Dybedahl discovered a bug in lyskom-server which could result in
a denial of service where an unauthenticated user could cause the
server to become unresponsive as it processes a large query.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.6-1woody1.

The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain a lyskom-server package.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem is fixed in version
2.0.7-2.

We recommend that you update your lyskom-server package.
