package: kfreebsd-8 version: 8.1+dfsg-7.1 severity: important tags: security an exploit has been posted for freebsd using a kernel leak and their ftpd [0]. it's against an ancient version of freebsd (5.3), so it may not affect newer versions. i don't have time to verify whether any of the claims actually affect the debian kfreebsd. i would suggest discussing this with upstream. best wishes, mike [0] http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/16119/
