[DSA028] DSA-028-1 man-db

Vulnerability Assessment Summary DSA-028-1 man-db Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Styx has reported that the program `man' mistakenly passes malicious strings (i.e. containing format characters) through routines that were not meant to use them as format strings. Since this could cause a segmentation fault and rights were not dropped it may lead to an exploit for the 'man' user. We recommend you upgrade your man-db package immediately.
