Detail

Steve Kemp from the GNU/Linux 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.

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

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.0beta26-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your crawl package.

Id Description
3818 Linleys Dungeon Crawl Environment Variable Handling Overflows

A local overflow exists in Linley's Dungeon Crawl. The game fails to validate the length of certain environment variables resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause arbitrary commands as group games to run resulting in a loss of confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability.
