Debian Security Advisory DSA 350-1 security@debian.org

Package : falconseye
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CAN-2003-0358
The falconseye package is vulnerable to a buffer overflow exploited
via a long '-s' command line option. This vulnerability could be used
by an attacker to gain gid 'games' on a system where falconseye is
installed.
Note that falconseye does not contain the file permission error
CAN-2003-0359 which affected some other nethack packages.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.9.3-7woody3.

version 1.9.3-9.
We recommend that you update your falconseye package.
