More information:

Steve Kemp from the Debian Security Audit project discovered a buffer overflow in petris, a clone of the Tetris game, which may be exploited to execute arbitrary code with group games privileges.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain the petris package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.1-4sarge0.

For the unstable distribution the package will be updated shortly.

We recommend that you upgrade your petris package.

Fixed in:
