Alexander Wirt uploaded a new package for ikiwiki which fixes the following 
security problem:

DSA-DSA-1875 

  Josh Triplett discovered that the blacklist for potentially harmful TeX code 
of
  the teximg module of the Ikiwiki wiki compiler was incomplete, resulting in
  information disclosure.

For the lenny-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in version 
3.1415926~bpo50+1.

The old stable distribution (etch) is not affected.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 
2.53.4.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 
3.1415926.

This bug will not be fixed for etch-backports we recommend to disable the 
teximg plugin there
or upgrade to lenny(-backports). 

Upgrade instructions
--------------------

If you don't use pinning 
(http://backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions) you have to update the 
package manually via apt-get -t lenny-backports install ikiwiki.

We recommend to pin the backports repository to 200 so that new versions of 
installed  backports will be installed automatically. 

Package: *
Pin: release a=lenny-backports
Pin-Priority: 200
