format string attack in the logging code of smstools, which may be
exploited to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

The original advisory for this issue said that the old stable
distribution (woody) was not affected because it did not contain
smstools. This was incorrect, and the only change in this updated
advisory is the inclusion of corrected packages for woody."
