Hmmm, it appears that everybody was expecting somebody else to
officially answer this.
Anyway, after rapid installations of mount 2.5j-1.1, mount 2.5k-1,
Debian 1.1.6 contains the latest: mount 2.5l-1.
Debian users can upgrade by simply pointing the dpkg-ftp method of
dselect at `ftp.debian.org:/debian/stable'.
Alternatively they can download the file
`ftp.debian.org:/debian/stable/binary-i386/base/mount_2.5l-1.deb' and
install it by hand with `dpkg -i mount_2.5l-1.deb'.
Alex, in the future please direct these questions to
'security@debian.org'.
