    Package : davfs2
    Vulnerability : privilege escalation
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2013-4362
    Debian Bug : 723034

    The update released for davfs2 in DSA 2765 had a version number for
    Debian 7 "wheezy" that sorts lower than the version in Debian 6
    "squeeze", causing problems on upgrades. This update makes a package
    of davfs2 in wheezy available which corrects only the version number.

    For reference, the original advisory follows.

    Davfs2, a filesystem client for WebDAV, calls the function system()
    insecurely while is setuid root. This might allow a privilege escalation.

    For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.4.6-1.1+wheezy1.
