Update to NetHack 3.6.4 - fixes security issue with privilege escalation: http://nethack.org/security/index.html

Summary

NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game that runs on a

wide variety of computer systems, with a variety of graphical and text

interfaces all using the same game engine.

Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games, the emphasis in

NetHack is on discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply

killing everything in sight - in fact, killing everything in sight is

a good way to die quickly.

Each game presents a different landscape - the random number generator

provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon

and its denizens to be discovered by the player in one of a number of

characters: you can pick your race, your role, and your gender.
