Package: netdiag
Version: 0.7-7.1
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole


Several of the applications in this package now routinely segfault and leave 
the port in promiscuous mode with no warning.
The problem was first reported nearly ten years ago (7794 and 12306) and no 
action has been taken. 

Judging from the Changelog, the maintainer has been awol for three years; the 
package should probably be orphaned.
