    Package : super
    CVE ID : CVE-2014-0470

    John Lightsey of the Debian Security Audit project discovered that the
    super package did not check for setuid failures, allowing local users
    to increase the privileges on kernel versions which do not guard
    against RLIMIT_NPROC attacks.

    For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 3.30.0-3+squeeze2.

    For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.30.0-6+deb7u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your super packages.
