Debian DSA-949-1 : crawl - insecure program execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 22815

Synopsis

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

Description

Steve Kemp from the Debian Security Audit project discovered a security related problem in crawl, another console based dungeon exploration game in the vein of nethack and rogue. The program executes commands insecurely when saving or loading games which can allow local attackers to gain group games privileges.

Solution

Upgrade the crawl package.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.0beta23-2woody2.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.0beta26-4sarge0.
