Debian DSA-964-1 : gnocatan - buffer overflow

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22830

Synopsis

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

Description

A problem has been discovered in gnocatan, the computer version of the settlers of Catan boardgame, that can lead the server and other clients to exit via an assert, and hence does not permit the execution of arbitrary code. The game has been renamed into Pioneers after the release of Debian sarge.

Solution

Upgrade the gnocatan and pioneers packages.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.6.1-5woody3.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.8.1.59-1sarge1.
