Package : netrik
Vulnerability : insufficient escaping
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2006-6678
Debian Bug : 404233

It has been discovered that netrik, a text mode WWW browser with vi like
keybindings, doesn't properly sanitize temporary filenames when editing
textareas which could allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands via
shell metacharacters.

For the stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in version
1.15.4-1sarge1.

For the upcoming stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.15.3-1.1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version
1.15.3-1.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your netrik package.
