Debian DSA-356-1 : xtokkaetama - buffer overflows

medium Nessus Plugin ID 15193

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Steve Kemp discovered two buffer overflows in xtokkaetama, a puzzle game, when processing the -display command line option and the XTOKKAETAMADIR environment variable. These vulnerabilities could be exploited by a local attacker to gain gid 'games'.

Solution

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0b-6woody1.

We recommend that you update your xtokkaetama package.
