Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a command-injection vulnerability in kildclient, a 'MUD' multiplayer real-time virtual world game.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in kildclient version 2.11.1-1+deb7u1. Thanks to Eduardo M Kalinowski for help in preparing this update.

We recommend that you upgrade your kildclient packages.

Solution

Upgrade the affected kildclient, and kildclient-doc packages.
