Insight
iDEFENSE reported about a vulnerability in LuxMan, a maze game for GNU/Linux, similar to the PacMan arcade game. When successfully exploited it a local attacker with read write access to the Memory, leading to a local root compromise in many ways, examples of which include scanning the file for fragments of the master password file and modifying kernel memory to re-map system calls.
This problem has been fixed in version 0.41-17.1 the current stable distribution (woody) and in version 0.41-19 for the unstable distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato) is not affected since it doesn't contain a luxman package
We recommend that you upgrade your luxman package immediately.
