Package        : libgtop 
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow 
Problem-Type   : remote 
Debian-specific: no 
CVE Id         : CAN-2001-0928 
 
The gtop daemon, used for monitoring remote machines, contains a 
buffer overflow which could be used by an attacker to execute 
arbitrary code with the privileges of the daemon process.  If started 
as root, the daemon process drops root privileges, assuming uid and 
gid 99 by default. 
 
This bug was previously fixed in DSA-098, but one of the patches was 
not carried over to later versions of libgtop. 
 
For the stable distribution (woody), this problem has been fixed in 
version 1.0.13-3.1. 
 
For the old stable distribution (potato), this problem was fixed in 
DSA-098. 
 
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in 
version 1.0.13-4. 
 
We recommend that you update your libgtop package.
