Erik SjĂślund discovered that playmidi, a MIDI player, contains a
setuid root program with a buffer overflow that can be exploited by a
local attacker.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.4-4woody1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.4debian-3.
We recommend that you upgrade your playmidi package.
