While this directory is created when logcheck is installed, and while it exists there is no vulnerability, if at any time this directory is removed, the potential for exploitation exists. For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.1-13.1woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.1-13.2. We recommend that you update your logcheck 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.
