Package: glibc
Vulnerability: local exploit
Debian-specific: no

Recently two problems have been found in the glibc suite, which could be
used to trick setuid applications to run arbitrary code.

An earlier advisory listed the updates for Debian 2.2/potato. This
advisory contains updates for Debian 2.1/slink. For information
about the found problems please see the previous advisory which is
available online at  Debian -- Security Information -- glibc.

UPDATE: the packages mentioned in the previous problem had a bug
that prevented some patches from being applied. This has been
fixed in version 2.0.7.19981211-6.3 .
