cxhextrix -- buffer overflow, giving access to group games

Date Reported:
13 Jun 1998
Affected Packages:
cxhextrix
Vulnerable:
Yes
Security database references:
No other external database security references currently available.
More information:
Chris Evans has reported that former versions of cxhextris have allowed local users to subvert the group "games", perhaps using this to then hide their activities (or cheat in the high score table!!).

We recommend you upgrade your cxhextris package.

Fixed in:
Intel - (in release 1.3) 1.0-3 All - (in release 2.0) 1.0-9
