Debian: DSA 391-1 Critical: Marbles Buffer Overflow Threat

Steve Kemp discovered a buffer overflow in marbles, when processing
the HOME environment variable. This vulnerability could be exploited
by a local user to gain gid 'games'.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed
in version 1.0.2-1woody1.

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

We recommend that you update your marbles package.
