The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities: CAN-2005-0017 Multiple insecure temporary files in the f2c translator. CAN-2005-0018 Two insecure temporary files in the f2 shell script. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 20010821-3.1 For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your f2c package. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
