Debian DSA-432-1 : crawl - buffer overflow

medium Nessus Plugin ID 15269

Synopsis

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

Description

Steve Kemp from the Debian Security Audit Project discovered a problem in crawl, another console based dungeon exploration game, in the vein of nethack and rogue. The program uses several environment variables as inputs but doesn't apply a size check before copying one of them into a fixed size buffer.

Solution

Upgrade the crawl package.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.0beta23-2woody1.
