to execute arbitrary code on the server machine.  The server runs with
nobody privileges by default, so this would be the account to be
exploited.

They have been corrected by backporting changes from a newer upstream
version by the Debian maintainer for xtell.  These problems are fixed
in version 1.91.1 in the stable distribution of Debian and in version
2.7 for the testing and unstable distribution of Debian.");
