Background ========== BomberClone is a remake of the classic game "BomberMan". It supports multiple players via IP network connection. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 games-action/bomberclone < 0.11.6.2-r1 >= 0.11.6.2-r1 Description =========== Stefan Cornelius of the Gentoo Security team discovered multiple missing buffer checks in BomberClone's code. Impact ====== By sending overly long error messages to the game via network, a remote attacker may exploit buffer overflows to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running BomberClone. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All BomberClone users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=games-action/bomberclone-0.11.6.2-r1" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-0460 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0460 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200602-09.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
