SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA19687

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/19687/

CRITICAL:
Not critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

OPERATING SYSTEM:
Debian GNU/Linux unstable alias sid
http://secunia.com/product/530/
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1
http://secunia.com/product/5307/
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0

DESCRIPTION:
Debian has issued an update for bsdgames. This fixes a vulnerability,
which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated
privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the "sail"
game when handling player names. This can be exploited via an overly
long player name to cause a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary
code with "games" group privileges.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
