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.
