Package        : man2html
Vulnerability  : denial of service
Type           : remote DoS
Debian-specific: no
Fixed version  : 1.5-22 and 1.5-23

It has been reported that one can tweak man2html remotely into
consuming all available memory.  This has been fixed by Nicolás
Lichtmaier with help of Stephan Kulow.

We recommend you upgrade your man2html package immediately.

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
