Beschreibung:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2001:428. Groff is the GNU version of troff, a document processor that ships with most Unix systems. Among other functions, it formats system manual pages into human-readable form. This release fixes two security problems: 1. ISS X-Force released an advisory[1] about GNU Groff utilities reading untrusted commands from the current working directory. Unsuspecting users, including root, could be tricked into running arbitrary commands on the system. 2. Zenith Parse discovered[2] that the pic command (which is used by the printer daemon and others) is vulnerable to a format string attack which makes it possible to circumvent groff's safe mode and execute commands which would otherwise be disabled. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2001:428 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002001 Risk factor : High
