[DSA1180] DSA-1180-1 bomberclone

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-1180-1 bomberclone

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Luigi Auriemma discovered two security related bugs in bomberclone, a
free Bomberman clone. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:
The program copies remotely provided data unchecked which could
lead to a denial of service via an application crash.
Bomberclone uses remotely provided data as length argument which
can lead to the disclosure of private information.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.11.5-1sarge2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.11.7-0.1.
We recommend that you upgrade your bomberclone package.
