Package: www-sql
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids: CAN-2004-0455

Ulf Härnhammar discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in www-sql,
a CGI program which enables the creation of dynamic web pages by
embedding SQL statements in HTML.  By exploiting this
vulnerability, a local user could cause the execution of arbitrary
code by creating a web page and processing it with www-sql.

For the current stable distribution (woody), this problem has been
fixed in version 0.5.7-17woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your www-sql package.

Package: rlpr
Vulnerability  : several
Problem-Type   : local, remote

CVE Ids: CAN-2004-0393 CAN-2004-0454

[EMAIL PROTECTED] discovered a format string vulnerability in
rlpr, a utility for lpd printing without using /etc/printcap.  While
investigating this vulnerability, a buffer overflow was also
discovered in related code.  By exploiting one of these
vulnerabilities, a local or remote user could potentially cause
arbitrary code to be executed with the privileges of 1) the rlprd
process (remote), or 2) root (local).

CAN-2004-0393: format string vulnerability via syslog(3) in msg()
function in rlpr

CAN-2004-0454: buffer overflow in msg() function in rlpr

For the current stable distribution (woody), this problem has been
fixed in version 2.02-7woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your rlpr package.

These  auto-commands are  very  interesting... But  there  is an  error:
BufReadPre is _not_ executed  if the file does not exist,  so if you are
editing a new file your viminfo setting are the defaults, leaving traces
of your encrypted file in your .viminfo .

I strongly suggest to add the event 'BufNewFile' to the first 2 autocmd,
