Title:DSA-1894-1 newt -- buffer overflow
Description:Miroslav Lichvar discovered that newt, a windowing toolkit, is prone to a buffer overflow in the content processing code, which can lead to the execution of arbitrary code. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 0.52.2-11.3+lenny1. For the oldstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 0.52.2-10+etch1. For the testing distribution and the unstable distribution, this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your newt packages.
