Jaguar discovered a vulnerability in one component of xpcd, a PhotoCD viewer. xpcd-svga, part of xpcd which uses svgalib to display graphics on the console, would copy user-supplied data of arbitrary length into a fixed-size buffer in the pcd_open function.
For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.08-8woody2.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.
