Title:DSA-2212-1 tmux -- privilege escalation
Description:Daniel Danner discovered that tmux, a terminal multiplexer, is not properly dropping group privileges. Due to a patch introduced by Debian, when invoked with the -S option, tmux is not dropping permissions obtained through its setgid installation. The oldstable distribution is not affected by this problem, it does not include tmux.
