Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
Several problems have been discovered in ht, a viewer, editor and

arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project

integer overflow in the ELF parser.
The authors have discovered a buffer overflow in the PE parser.
For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed

advised not to use this package anymore since we cannot provide
updated packages as it doesn't compile anymore.
