Package: heartbeat
Severity: grave
Tags: security

Hi,

The following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for libtool.  I see that heartbeat in unstable no longer
embeds libtool, but it appears that etch and lenny still have it.  I am
not sure if it is actually used in the binary packages though.  Please
check.  If those packages are not affected, please close the bug.

CVE-2009-3736[0]:
| ltdl.c in libltdl in GNU Libtool 1.5.x, and 2.2.6 before 2.2.6b,
| attempts to open a .la file in the current working directory, which
| allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse file.

Note that this problem also affects etch and lenny, so if your package
is affected, please coordinate with the security team to release the
DSA for the affected packages.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE id in your changelog entry.
