[SECURITY] New versions of tcsh fixes buffer overflows



We have found that the tcsh shell had a problem with very long
pathnames. When a very long path was encountered tcsh failed to
check the result of getcwd() in all places, which could be
exploited. 

We recommend you upgrade your tcsh package immediately.

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.
