    Package           : htdig
    Vulnerability type: remote exploit
    Debian-specific   : no
    
    The version of htdig that was shipped in Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 has a problem
    with calling external programs to handle non-HTML documents: it calls
    the external program with the document as a parameter, but does not check
    for shell escapes. This can be exploited by creating files with filenames
    that include shell escapes to run arbitraty commands on the machine that
    runs htdig.
    
    This has been fixed in version 3.1.2-4slink6. We recommend you upgrade your
    htdig package immediately.
    
    wget url
            will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
            will install the referenced file.
