The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'abuse' package(s) announced via the DSA-691-1 advisory. Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in abuse, the SDL port of the Abuse action game. The vulnerabilities could lead to buffer overflows in the command line handling, execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges, and creation and overwriting of arbitrary files

Erik Sjolund discovered several buffer overflows in the command line handling, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges since it is installed setuid root.

CAN-2005-0099

Steve Kemp discovered that abuse creates some files without dropping privileges first, which may lead to the creation and overwriting of arbitrary files.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.00+-3woody4.

The unstable distribution (sid) does not contain an abuse package anymore.
