Debian DSA-1102-1 : pinball - design error

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22644

Synopsis

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

Description

Steve Kemp from the Debian Security Audit project discovered that pinball, a pinball simulator, can be tricked into loading level plugins from user-controlled directories without dropping privileges.

Solution

Upgrade the pinball package.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain this package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.3.1-3sarge1.
