    Debian Security Advisory DSA 345-1 security@debian.org

    Package : xbl
    Vulnerability : buffer overflow
    Problem-Type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Ids : CAN-2003-0535

    Another buffer overflow was discovered in xbl, distinct from the one
    addressed in DSA-327 (CAN-2003-0451), involving the -display command
    line option. This vulnerability could be exploited by a local
    attacker to gain gid 'games'.

    For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.0k-3woody2.

    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem is fixed in version
    1.0k-6.

    We recommend that you update your xbl package.
