With older versions of jazip a user could gain root access for members of
the floppy group to the local machine. The interface doesn't run as root
anymore and this very exploit was prevented. The program now also
truncates DISPLAY to 256 characters if it is bigger, which closes the
buffer overflow (within xforms). Updated packages are available from security.debian.org.

actually spending it was crushed (and you'll get your lost Mojo back

description:
Perl-AddressBook is a collection of Perl library modules which provide
a unified interface for accessing addressbook entries stored in various
types of databases. It supports LDAP, LDIF, PDB (PalmOS), DBI, and HTML
backend database types. It features configurable attribute mapping,
simple methods for moving entries between backend databases, entries
which can be synchronized between backend databases of different types,
and attributes which can be calculated "on the fly" (e.g., based on
other attributes).

description:
e4Graph is a C++ library that allows programs to store graph-like data
persistently and to access and manipulate that data efficiently. With
e4Graph, you can arrange your data in the most natural form that
reflects the relationships between its parts, rather than having to
force it into a table-like format. The e4Graph library also allows you
to concentrate on the relationships you want to represent, and not on
how to store them in a database. You can modify data items, and add and
remove connections and relationships between pieces of data on the fly.
e4Graph allows you to represent an unlimited number of different
connections between pieces of data, and your program can selectively
manipulate the data according to the relationships it cares about, not
having to know about other connections represented in the data set.
changes:
A new XML I/O facility based on Expat, a new callback facility for
reporting changes to a storage to an application, a new statistics
facility for generating reports about storage, and many bug fixes and
plugged memory leaks have been added.
