Description:
Debian has issued an update for bsdgames. This fixes a vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the "sail" game when handling player names. This can be exploited via an overly long player name to cause a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with "games" group privileges.
