Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

It was discovered that bacula, a network backup service, does not properly enforce console ACLs. This could allow information about resources to be dumped by an otherwise-restricted client.

Solution

Upgrade the bacula packages.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 5.0.2-2.2+squeeze1.
