Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in Typespeed, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the network code. If the game is used in network mode, exploitation results in a heap overflow. This may allow execution of arbitrary code on a vulnerable system with the privileges of the user running typespeed and the "games" group.
