Debian: xboing Buffer overflow vulnerabilities
Summary
Steve Kemp discovered a number of buffer overflow vulnerabilities in
xboing, a game, which could be exploited by a local attacker to gain
gid "games".
For the current stable distribution (woody) these problems have been
fixed in version 2.4-26woody1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.4-26.1.
We recommend that you update your xboing package.
