abuse - several

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in abuse, the SDL port of
the Abuse action game. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:

• CAN-2005-0098
  Erik SjĂślund 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.

We recommend that you upgrade your abuse package.
