    Package : xboing
    Vulnerability : buffer overflows
    Problem-Type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id : CAN-2004-0149
    Debian bug : 174924

    Steve Kemp discovered a number of buffer overflow vulnerabilities in
    xboing, a game, which could be exploited by a local attacker to gain
    gid "games".

    For the current stable distribution (woody) these problems have been
    fixed in version 2.4-26woody1.

    version 2.4-26.1.

    We recommend that you update your xboing package.
