Insight
It was discovered that suphp, an Apache module to run PHP scripts with owner permissions handles symlinks insecurely, which may lead to privilege escalation by local users.
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.6.2-1+etch0.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your suphp packages.
