Package: arpwatch Version: 2.1a15-1.1 Severity: critical Tags: security Justification: root security hole
Hi, as reported on oss-sec (http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2012/05/24/12) the patch added to arpwatch to drop privileges in fact adds the gid 0 (root) group to the group list. This has been allocated CVE-2012-2653. Can you prepare updates fixing this (using pw->pw_gid in the call) or should the security team do it?
