    Package : py2play
    Vulnerability : design error
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CAN-2005-2875
    Debian Bug : 326976

    Arc Riley discovered that py2play, a peer-to-peer network game engine,
    is able to execute arbitrary code received from the p2p game network
    it is connected to without any security checks.

    The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain py2play packages.

    For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.1.7-1sarge1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.1.8-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your py2play package.

    Upgrade Instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
            will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
            will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
            will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
            will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
