Package        : sup
Vulnerability  : format string
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids        : CAN-2004-0451

jaguar@felinemenace.org discovered a format string vulnerability in
sup, a set of programs to synchronize collections of files across a
number of machines, whereby a remote attacker could potentially cause
arbitrary code to be executed with the privileges of the supfilesrv
process (this process does not run automatically by default).

CAN-2004-0451: format string vulnerabilities in sup via syslog(3) in
logquit, logerr, loginfo functions

For the current stable distribution (woody), this problem has been
fixed in version 1.8-8woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your sup package.
