Package        : falconseye
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id         : CAN-2003-0358

The falconseye package is vulnerable to a buffer overflow exploited

installed.

Note that falconseye does not contain the file permission error
CAN-2003-0359 which affected some other nethack packages.
