Description:
Steve Kemp has reported a vulnerability in ketm, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in support.c when formatting an error message for display. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long command line argument and may be exploited to execute arbitrary code with group "games" privileges.
