Problem description
A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in arpwatch:
arpwatch 2.1a15, as used by Red Hat, Debian, Fedora, and possibly
others, does not properly drop supplementary groups, which might allow
attackers to gain root privileges by leveraging other vulnerabilities
in the daemon (CVE-2012-2653).
The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
