tag_insight = "'bazarr' discovered that eterm is vulnerable to a buffer overflow of
the ETERMPATH environment variable.  This bug can be exploited to gain
the privileges of the group 'utmp' on a system where eterm is
installed.

For the stable distribution (woody), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.2-0pre2002042903.1.

The old stable distribution (potato) is not affected by this bug.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your eterm package.";
