    Package : vbox3
    Vulnerability : privilege leak
    Problem-Type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Ids : CAN-2004-0015

    A bug was discovered in vbox3, a voice response system for isdn4linux,
    whereby root privileges were not properly relinquished before
    executing a user-supplied tcl script. By exploiting this
    vulnerability, a local user could gain root privileges.

    For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
    fixed in version 0.1.7.1.

    For the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 0.1.8.

    We recommend that you update your vbox3 package.

    Upgrade Instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
            will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
            will install the referenced file.

    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
