This was fixed in version 23.0slink1. However that fix contained an error which has been fixed in version upl102-23.slink2. Here is the problem description from the previous fix: Passing a big directory name to amd its logging code would overflow a buffer which could be exploited. This has been fixed in version 23.0slink1. We recommand that you upgrade your amd package immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 alias slink - -------------------------------- This version of Debian was released only for Intel, the Motorola 680x0, the alpha and the Sun sparc architecture.
