Package : mah-jong
Vulnerability : buffer overflows, denial of service
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CAN-2003-0705 CAN-2003-0706
Nicolas Boullis discovered two vulnerabilities in mah-jong, a
network-enabled game.
- CAN-2003-0705 (buffer overflow)
This vulnerability could be exploited by a remote attacker to
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
mah-jong server.
- - - CAN-2003-0706 (denial of service)
This vulnerability could be exploited by a remote attacker to cause
the mah-jong server to enter a tight loop and stop responding to
commands.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.4-2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.5.6-2.
We recommend that you update your mah-jong package.
