<p>This is the second update of Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (codename ‘sarge$rsquo;)
which mainly adds security updates to the stable release, along with a
few corrections to serious problems. Those who frequently update from
security.debian.org won't have to update many packages and most
updates from security.debian.org are included in this update.</p>
<p>Please note that this update does not produce a new version of Debian
GNU/Linux 3.1 but only adds a few updated packages to it. There is no
need to throw away 3.1 CDs but only to update against ftp.debian.org
after an installation, in order to incorporate those late changes.</p>
<p>Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the
‘apt’ package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) to one of
Debian's many FTP or HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list of mirrors is
available at:</p>
<div class="center">
<a href="$(HOME)/mirror/list">http://www.debian.org/mirror/list</a>
</div>
<h2>Notable Changes</h2>
<p>sudo has been changed to not propagate all environment variables to
subsequent programs to avoid security risks. This change might affect
software that uses sudo. Please see /usr/share/doc/sudo/README.Debian
for more details.</p>
<h2>Miscellaneous Bugfixes</h2>
<p>This revision adds important corrections to the following packages.
Most of them don't affect the security of the system, but may affect
data integrity.</p>

<h2>Security Updates</h2>
<p>This revision adds the following security updates to the stable release.
The Security Team has already released an advisory for each of these updates.
The security fixes of the kernel have been delayed to the next point release
due to constraints with the installer, please update the kernel images from
security.debian.org.
