(bsd-games: Local privilege escalation in tetris-bsd)

    Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered that
    the checkscores() function in scores.c reads in the data from the
    /var/games/tetris-bsd.scores file without validation, rendering it
    vulnerable to buffer overflows and incompatible with the system used
    for managing games on Gentoo Linux. As a result, it cannot be played
    securely on systems with multiple users. Please note that this is
    probably a Gentoo-specific issue.
  
Impact :

    A local user who is a member of group 'games' may be able to modify the
    tetris-bsd.scores file to trigger the execution of arbitrary code with
    the privileges of other players.
  
Workaround :

    Do not add untrusted users to the 'games' group."
