Package        : falconseye
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id         : CAN-2003-0358

The falconseye package is vulnerable to a buffer overflow exploited
via a long '-s' command line option.  This vulnerability could be used
by an attacker to gain gid 'games' on a system where falconseye is
installed.

Note that falconseye does not contain the file permission error
CAN-2003-0359 which affected some other nethack packages.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.9.3-7woody3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.9.3-9.

We recommend that you update your falconseye package.
