kbd 0.90-4a: security hole fix
NOTE: I am not the package maintainer for this package. I'm releasing
this because this package has a serious security hole which was
reported over a *month* ago, which is totally unacceptable.
The package should be considered orphaned - anyone willing to take it
over would be welcomed.
The package seemed generally to be in need of quite a bit of work, and
is desperately in need of upgrading to the latest upstream version
(for example, it wouldn't compile with 1.3.68 kernel headers).
However, it is small.
This is an a.out release; I'd like it to go in the unstable tree for a
week or so to see if I've made a blunder, and then moved into the
stable tree.
