Debian DSA-1386-1 : wesnoth - programming error

high Nessus Plugin ID 27043

Synopsis

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

Description

A problem has been discovered in the processing of chat messages.
Overly long messages are truncated by the server to a fixed length, without paying attention to the multibyte characters. This leads to invalid UTF-8 on clients and causes an uncaught exception. Note that both wesnoth and the wesnoth server are affected.

Solution

Upgrade the wesnoth packages.

For the old stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.0-6 and in version 1.2.7-1~bpo31+1 of sarge-backports.

For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in version 1.2-2 and in version 1.2.7-1~bpo40+1 of etch-backports.

Packages for the oldstable mips architecture will be added to the archive later.
