Title: OpenTTD: Execution of arbitrary code
Date: March 07, 2009
Bugs: #233929
ID: 200903-09
Synopsis
=======
Multiple buffer overflows in OpenTTD might allow for the execution of
arbitrary code in the server.
Background
=========
OpenTTD is a clone of Transport Tycoon Deluxe.
Affected packages
================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 games-simulation/openttd < 0.6.3 >= 0.6.3
==========
Multiple buffer overflows have been reported in OpenTTD, when storing
long for client names (CVE-2008-3547), in the TruncateString function
in src/gfx.cpp (CVE-2008-3576) and in src/openttd.cpp when processing a
large filename supplied to the "-g" parameter in the ttd_main function
(CVE-2008-3577).
Impact
=====
An authenticated attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the OpenTTD server.
Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=========
All OpenTTD users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
#
emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=games-simulation/openttd-0.6.3"
