Debian DSA-929-1 : petris - buffer overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 22795

Synopsis

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

Description

Steve Kemp from the Debian Security Audit project discovered a buffer overflow in petris, a clone of the Tetris game, which may be exploited to execute arbitrary code with group games privileges.

Solution

Upgrade the petris package.

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

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.1-4sarge0.
