Package        : jgroff

Vulnerability  : format print

Problem-Type   : local

Debian-specific: no



Basically, this is the same Security Advisory as DSA 072-1, but for

jgroff instead of groff.  The package jgroff contains a version

derived from groff that has japaneze character sets enabled.  This

package is available only in the stable release of Debian, patches for

japanese support have been merged into the main groff package.



The old advisory said:



Zenith Parse found a security problem in groff (the GNU version of

troff).  The pic command was vulnerable to a printf format attack

which made it possible to circumvent the `-S' option and execute

arbitrary code.
