Detail
| During an audit, Ulf Harnhammar discovered a vulnerability in lbreakout2, a game, where proper bounds checking was not performed on environment variables. This bug could be exploited by a local attacker to gain the privileges of group "games". For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.2-1woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you update your lbreakout2 package. |
