#use wml::debian::translation-check translation="1.1" maintainer="" #pddp arteek failure to drop privileges

Steve Kemp discovered a vulnerability in xonix, a game, where an external program was invoked while retaining setgid privileges. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain gid "games".

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem will be fixed in version 1.4-19woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your xonix package.
