Debian DLA-202-1 : wesnoth-1.8 security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 82860

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Ignacio R. Morelle discovered that missing path restrictions in the 'Battle of Wesnoth' game could result in the disclosure of arbitrary files in the user's home directory if malicious campaigns/maps are loaded.

For the oldstable distribution (distribution), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.8.5-1+deb6u1. See DSA-3218-1 for the versions of the other releases.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
