Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Ilja Van Sprundel discovered that eject (a tool to eject CD/DVD drives) did not properly handle errors returned from setuid/setgid.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in eject version 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-13+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your eject packages.
