<p>
|
|
NetHack, Slash'EM and Falcon's Eye have been found to be incompatible
|
|
with the system used for managing games on Gentoo Linux. As a result,
|
|
they cannot be played securely on systems with multiple users.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local user who is a member of group "games" may be able to modify the
|
|
state data used by NetHack, Slash'EM or Falcon's Eye to trigger the
|
|
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of other players.
|
|
Additionally, the games may create save game files in a manner not
|
|
suitable for use on Gentoo Linux, potentially allowing a local user to
|
|
create or overwrite files with the permissions of other players.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Do not add untrusted users to the "games" group.

|
</p>

|
</workaround>
