    Package        : mozart
    Vulnerability  : unsafe mailcap configuration
    Problem-Type   : remote
    Debian-specific: yes
    
    mozart, a development platform based on the Oz language, includes MIME
    configuration data which specifies that Oz applications should be
    passed to the Oz interpreter for execution.  This means that file
    managers, web browsers, and other programs which honor the mailcap
    file could automatically execute Oz programs downloaded from untrusted
    sources.  Thus, a malicious Oz program could execute arbitrary code
    under the uid of a user running a MIME-aware client program if the
    user selected a file (for example, choosing a link in a web browser).
    
    For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.2.3.20011204-3woody1.
    
    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.2.5.20030212-2.
    
    We recommend that you update your mozart package.
