Hey Lance,
Do you know how I can get myself off of this list? Somehow I signed up
under my alias, so I can't just send a message from my email account.

Package: bzip2
Vulnerability : infinite loop
Problem-Type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-1260
Debian Bug : 310803
Chris Evans discovered that a specially crafted archive can trigger an
infinete loop in bzip2, a high-quality block-sorting file compressor.
During uncompression this results in an indefinitively growing output file
which will finally fill up the disk and. On systems that automatically
decompress bzip2 archives this can cause a denial of service.
For the oldstable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.0.2-1.woody5.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version
1.0.2-7.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version
1.0.2-7.
We recommend that you upgrade your bzip2 package.
