Debian Security Advisory DSA 691-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
March 7th, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : abuse
Vulnerability : several
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-0098 CAN-2005-0099
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in abuse, the SDL port of
the Abuse action game. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:
CAN-2005-0098
Erik Sjund discovered several buffer overflows in the command line
handling, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with
elevated privileges since it is installed setuid root.
CAN-2005-0099
Steve Kemp discoverd that that abuse creates some files without
dropping privileges first, which may lead to the creation and
overwriting of arbitrary files.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.00+-3woody4.
The unstable distribution (sid) does not contain an abuse package anymore.
We recommend that you upgrade your abuse package.
