Debian: DSA 445-1 Critical: Local Access Buffer Overflow in Lbreakout2

During an audit, Ulf Harnhammar discovered a vulnerability in
lbreakout2, a game, where proper bounds checking was not performed on
environment variables. This bug could be exploited by a local
attacker to gain the privileges of group "games".

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 2.2.2-1woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your lbreakout2 package.
