Debian DSA 364-2 Critical: Man-DB Segmentation Fault Fix

The previous man-db update (DSA-364-1) introduced an error which
resulted in a segmentation fault in the "mandb" command, which runs
part of the daily cron job. This error was caused by allocating a
memory region which was one byte too small to hold the data written
into it.

For the current stable distribution (woody), these problems have been
fixed in version 2.3.20-18.woody.3.

The unstable distribution (sid) was not affected by this problem.

We recommend that you update your man-db package.
