Debian 3.0: DSA 356-1 Moderate: Xtokkaetama Buffer Overflow Exploit

Steve Kemp discovered two buffer overflows in xtokkaetama, a puzzle
game, when processing the -display command line option and the
XTOKKAETAMADIR environment variable. These vulnerabilities could be
exploited by a local attacker to gain gid 'games'.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed
in version 1.0b-6woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem is fixed in version
1.0b-8.

We recommend that you update your xtokkaetama package.
