Debian 3.0 DSA 354-1 Moderate: Xconq Buffer Overflow Threat

Steve Kemp discovered a buffer overflow in xconq, in processing the
USER environment variable. In the process of fixing this bug, a
similar problem was discovered with the DISPLAY environment
variable. This vulnerability could be exploited by a local attacker
to gain gid 'games'.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed
in version 7.4.1-2woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
Refer to Debian bug #202963.

We recommend that you update your xconq package.
