Debian 3.0 DSA 691-1 Moderate: Abuse Game Local Exploit Fix

Erik Sjölund discovered several buffer overflows in the command line
handling, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with
elevated privileges since it is installed setuid root.

CAN-2005-0099

Steve Kemp discoverd that that abuse creates some files without
dropping privileges first, which may lead to the creation and
overwriting of arbitrary files.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.00+-3woody4.

The unstable distribution (sid) does not contain an abuse package anymore.

We recommend that you upgrade your abuse package.
