Debian DSA 189-1: Critical Local Root Attack from LuxMan Exploit

iDEFENSE reported about a vulnerability in LuxMan, a maze game for
GNU/Linux, similar to the PacMan arcade game. When successfully
exploited it a local attacker with read write access to the Memory,
leading to a local root compromise in many ways, examples of which
include scanning the file for fragments of the master password file
and modifying kernel memory to re-map system calls.

This problem has been fixed in version 0.41-17.1 the current stable
distribution (woody) and in version 0.41-19 for the unstable
distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato) is not
affected since it doesn't contain a luxman package

We recommend that you upgrade your luxman package immediately.
