Subject: exploit for (Debian's?) pfinger

I found an exploit on Packetstorm described as "Pfinger v0.7.8 and below
local root exploit. Tested on Red Hat 7.2 - 8.0, Debian 3.0, Slackware
8.0, FreeBSD-4.6 and OpenBSD-3.1."

I cannot find pfinger in Debian. The exploit executes "finger" and not a
program called "pfinger" so it's not the Pascal finger program.

Does this exploit effect Debian? Is/was there a bug report for this?
