Package: screenkast
Version: 0.1.4-2
Severity: serious
Tags: security

Hi, screenkast currently has a Build-Depends: libxaw6-dev, and
therefore a Depends: libxaw6 in the binary package.

libxaw6 is deprecated, superseded by libxaw7, and it contains a
security flaw where passwords are shown in plain text, see Debian bug
#172890 [ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=172890 ]

Could you please therefore rebuild screenkast using libxaw7 rather
than libxaw6?

screenkast is the last package using libxaw6. After fixing this bug we
will be free to remove it from Debian altogether.

Thanks,

Drew Parsons
