Security update for Debian Testing - 2009-01-06



This automatic mail gives an overview over security issues that were recently 
fixed in Debian Testing. The majority of fixed packages migrate to testing 
from unstable. If this would take too long, fixed packages are uploaded to the 
testing-security repository instead. It can also happen that vulnerable 
packages are removed from Debian testing.

DTSA:
=====
The following issues have been fixed by uploads to testing-security:

xterm 235-2:
DTSA-182-1    : xterm - remote code execution
CVE-2006-7236: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-7236
               http://bugs.debian.org/510030
CVE-2008-2383: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2383



How to update:
--------------
Make sure the line

	deb http://security.debian.org lenny/updates main contrib non-free

is present in your /etc/apt/sources.list. Of course, you also need the line
pointing to your normal lenny mirror. You can use

	aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade

to install the updates.
