to use resources from NetWare servers of which one also applies to the
stable Debian distribution. Due to accessing a configuration file
without further checks with root permissions it is possible to read
arbitrary files.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.2.0.18-10woody2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your ncpfs package.
