DSA-462-1 xitalk Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Steve Kemp from the Debian Security Audit Project discovered a problem in xitalk, a talk intercept utility for the X Window System. A local user can exploit this problem and execute arbitrary commands under the GID utmp. This could be used by a possible hacker to remove traces from the utmp file. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.11-9.1woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your xitalk package.
