Debian: DSA 327-1 Urgent: Quantum-Read Memory Corruption Flaw

Orville Write, a replacement for the standard write(1) command,
contains a number of buffer overflows. These could be exploited to
gain either gid tty or root privileges, depending on the configuration
selected when the package is installed.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.53-4woody1.

The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain an orville-write
package.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
See Debian bug report #170747.

We recommend that you update your orville-write package.
