  • Upgrade the wmtv packages immediately. This problem has been fixed in version 0.6.5-2potato2 for the stable distribution by dropping privileges as soon as possible and only regaining them where required. In the current testing/unstable distribution this problem has been fixed in version 0.6.5-9 and above by not requiring privileges anymore. Both contain fixes for two potential buffer overflows as well.
