>Description:

Updating the Samhain integrity checking system to 2.0.2, a security bugfix
release. All users are advised to upgrade.

Changes:

* A buffer overflow in the database update code has been fixed that
was found during an internal code review. It can (only) be triggered if
samhain is running in 'update' mode (command line option '-t update'),
and may be exploitable by a local user, if this user controls a
directory checked by samhain.

Versions affected: samhain 1.8.9 - 2.0.1 (inclusive).

* A segfault in the email code caused by an uninitialized variable has
been fixed.

* A segfault caused by a NULL pointer dereference has been fixed.
