Adam Zabrocki discovered multiple buffer overflows in atari800, an
Atari emulator. In order to directly access graphics hardware, one of
the affected programs is installed setuid root. A local attacker
could exploit this vulnerability to gain root privileges.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2.2-1woody3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your atari800 package immediately.
