Debian 3.0: DSA-359-1 Moderate: Atari800 Local Access Threat

Steve Kemp discovered multiple buffer overflows in atari800, an Atari
emulator. In order to directly access graphics hardware, one of the
affected programs is setuid root. A local attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to gain root privileges.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed
in version 1.2.2-1woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
Refer to Debian bug #203707.

We recommend that you update your atari800 package.
