Description:

Max Vozeler discovered a format string vulnerability in super, a
program to allow specified users to execute commands with root
privileges. This vulnerability could potentially be exploited by a
local user to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
For the current stable distribution (woody), this problem has been
fixed in version 3.16.1-1.2.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed
in version 3.23.0-1.
We recommend that you update your super package.
