Secure testing team - Dec 2010 - Bug#606257: CVE-2010-4262: Buffer overflow

Package: xfig
Severity: important
Tags: security

Hi,
please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=659676 for details
and a patch. Please fix this for Squeeze.

The attack vector is fairly obscure, so we don''t need a DSA for it,
you could fix it through a point update, though:

Cheers,
        Moritz
