Debian: omega-rpg buffer overflow vulnerability
Summary
Steve Kemp discovered a buffer overflow in the commandline and
environment variable handling of omega-rpg, a text-based rogue-style
game of dungeon exploration, which could lead a local attacker to gain
unauthorised access to the group games.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.90-pa9-7woody1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.90-pa9-11.
