Just a heads up in case you haven't seen it. My boss has tested the exploit on a couple of boxes at work (ones that don't have customer logins) and confirmed it works and thus may present a problem. Guess we'll be figuring out which boxes are affected this morning and getting them patched or whatever.

edit: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugre...?bug=464953#14 possible workaround available there.
