<description>

<p>
|
|
Niko Tyni discovered a buffer overflow in the addnewword() function of
|
|
Typespeed's network code.
|

|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
By sending specially crafted network packets to a machine running
|
|
Typespeed in multiplayer mode, a remote attacker can execute arbitrary
|
|
code with the permissions of the user running the game.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Do not run Typespeed in multiplayer mode. There is no known workaround
|
|
at this time for multiplayer mode.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Typespeed users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=games-misc/typespeed-0.5.0"</code>
