Package        : typespeed
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no

A problem has been discovered in the typespeed, a game that lets you
measure your typematic speed.  By overflowing a buffer  a local
attacker could execute arbitrary commands under the group id games.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 0.4.1-2.1.

For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed
in version 0.4.0-5.1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.4.2-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your typespeed package.

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

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

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