    We have received reports that junkbuster had a couple buffer overflow
    vulnerabilities.  We fixed those in version 2.0-3.2. All later version are
    also not vulnerable. The patches were backported from 2.0.2 .
    
    We recommend you upgrade your junkbuster package immediately.
    
    wget url
            will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
            will install the referenced file.
