    Package        : leksbot
    Vulnerability  : improper setuid-root execution
    Problem-Type   : local
    Debian-specific: yes
    
    Maurice Massar discovered that, due to a packaging error, the program
    /usr/bin/KATAXWR was inadvertently installed setuid root.  This
    program was not designed to run setuid, and contained multiple
    vulnerabilities which could be exploited to gain root privileges.
    
    For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.2-3.1.
    
    The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain a leksbot
    package.
    
    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.2-5.
    
    We recommend that you update your leksbot package.
