Package        : conquest
Vulnerability  : buffer overlow
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id         : CAN-2003-0933

Steve Kemp discovered a buffer overflow in the environment variable
handling of conquest, a curses based, real-time, multi-player space
warfare game, which could lead a local attacker to gain unauthorised
access to the group conquest.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 7.1.1-6woody1.

version 7.2-5.

We recommend that you upgrade your conquest package.
