    Stefan Cornelius of the Gentoo Security team discovered multiple
    missing buffer checks in BomberClone's code.

  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    By sending overly long error messages to the game via network, a
    remote attacker may exploit buffer overflows to execute arbitrary code
    with the rights of the user running BomberClone.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All BomberClone users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=games-action/bomberclone-0.11.6.2-r1&quot;</code>
