Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2009-0759
Debian Bug : 516950

privileges and indirectly execute arbitrary commands (CVE-2009-0759).
For the old stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.045-3+etch2.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
