Insight
Insight
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: CVE-2005-0098 Erik Sjölund 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. CVE-2005-0099 Steve Kemp discoverd that 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.
