The version of amd that was distributed with Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 is
vulnerable to a remote exploit. Passing a big directory name to
amd its logging code would overflow a buffer which could be exploited.
This has been fixed in version 23.0slink1.

We recommand that you upgrade your amd package immediately.
