This is an update to the DSA-032-1 advisory. The powerpc package
that was listed in that advisory was unfortunately compiled on
the wrong system which caused it to not work on a Debian GNU/Linux 2.2

installed on security.debian.org.

For information on the fixed vulnerabilities please see the DSA-032-1
