Vulnerability Assessment Details

[DSA997] DSA-997-1 bomberclone

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-997-1 bomberclone

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Stefan Cornelius of Gentoo Security discovered that bomberclone, a
free Bomberman-like game, crashes when receiving overly long error
packets, which may also permit remote attackers to execute arbitrary
code.
The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain bomberclone packages.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.11.5-1sarge1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.11.6.2-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your bomberclone package.
