Debian DSA-333-1 : acm - integer overflow

critical Nessus Plugin ID 15170

Synopsis

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

Description

acm, a multi-player aerial combat simulation, uses a network protocol based on the same RPC implementation used in many C libraries. This implementation was found to contain an integer overflow vulnerability which could be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

Solution

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 5.0-3.woody.1.
