Package        : xbl
Vulnerability  : buffer overflows
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no

Steve Kemp discovered several buffer overflows in xbl, a game, which
can be triggered by long command line arguments.  This vulnerability
could be exploited by a local attacker to gain gid 'games'.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.0k-3woody1.

For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed
in version 1.0i-7potato1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem is fixed in version
1.0k-5.

We recommend that you update your xbl package.
