Package        : super
Vulnerability  : format string vulnerability
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no

GOBBLES found an insecure use of format strings in the super package.
The included program super is intended to provide access to certain
system users for particular users and programs, similar to the program
super.  Exploiting this format string vulnerability a local user can
gain unauthorized root accesss.

This problem has been fixed in version 3.12.2-2.1 for the old stable
distribution (potato), in version 3.16.1-1.1 for the current stable
distribution (woody) and in version 3.18.0-3 for the unstable
distribution (sid).

We recommend that you upgrade your super package immediately.

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.

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 alias woody
- ------------------------------------

Due to a bug in the libc6-dev package, we are currently unable to
provide a fixed package for the ARM architecture.  We will install it
in the archive as soon as we're able to compile it again.  Until that,
please remove the super package from your arm systems.  Due to an
unknown failure we're also unable to provide a fixed package for the
S/390 architecture, which will be installed later.
