Further info could be found here (in french, sorry): http://www.certa.ssi.gouv.fr/site/CERTA-2008-AVI-607/ According to this page, the vulnerabilities only affect the 5.4 branch and indeed http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/sympa.html: Stable 5.2.3-1.2+etch1 Stable Security Updates 5.2.3-1.2+etch1 Testing 5.3.4-6.1 Unstable 5.3.4-6.1 So it appears that neither etch nor lenny is concerned. Feel free to close this bug as the PTS now shows that the latest version available is 5.4.4. Cheers, -- Emmanuel Halbwachs Resp.
