In NetHack before 3.6.5, an extremely long value for the MENUCOLOR
configuration file option can cause a buffer overflow resulting in a crash
or remote code execution/privilege escalation. This vulnerability affects
systems that have NetHack installed suid/sgid and shared systems that allow
users to upload their own configuration files. Users should upgrade to
NetHack 3.6.5.

Notes

Author Note
