Bug#559107: Local root exploit in rtld

[Moritz Muehlenhoff <jmm@debian.org>]

Package: kfreebsd-7
Severity: grave
Tags: security

Colin Percival posted a preliminary patch, a full advisory is announced
for tomorrow.

I suppose this affects Debian/KFreeBSD?

One a side note, what's the status of CVE-2009-114[678] ? #483152 was
filed for it, but it got closed without a solution AFAICT.

Cheers,
        Moritz
