+ bsd-games is a collection of NetBSD games ported to Linux.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered that
+ the checkscores() function in scores.c reads in the data from the
+ /var/games/tetris-bsd.scores file without validation, rendering it
+ vulnerable to buffer overflows and incompatible with the system used
+ for managing games on Gentoo Linux. As a result, it cannot be played
+ securely on systems with multiple users. Please note that this is
+ probably a Gentoo-specific issue.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local user who is a member of group "games" may be able to modify the
+ tetris-bsd.scores file to trigger the execution of arbitrary code with
+ the privileges of other players.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Do not add untrusted users to the "games" group.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All bsd-games users are advised to update to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=games-misc/bsd-games-2.17-r1"</code>
