    We have received a report that former versions of libtermcap contained
    an exploitable buffer overflow.  Debian itself is not exploitable by
    this bug since termcap was abandoned in favour of terminfo long ago.
    However, if you have compiled your own programs using termcap or have
    installed third party programs that depend on libtermcap and run as
    root they are exploitable.
    
    We recommend you upgrade your termcap-compat package immediately.
    
    wget url
            will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
            will install the referenced file.
