descriptionJens Steube reported a pair of buffer overflow vulnerabilities in hztty, a program to translate Chinese character encodings in a terminal session. These vulnerabilities could be exploited by a local attacker to gain root privileges on a system where hztty is installed. Additionally, hztty had been incorrectly installed setuid root, when it only requires the privileges of group utmp. This has also been corrected in this update.
