More information:

Steve Kemp from the Debian Security Audit project discovered a security related problem in crawl, another console based dungeon exploration game in the vein of nethack and rogue. The program executes commands insecurely when saving or loading games which can allow local attackers to gain group games privileges.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.0beta23-2woody2.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.0beta26-4sarge0.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.0beta26-7.

We recommend that you upgrade your crawl package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody)
