NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bsdgames package and not the bsdgames package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

Multiple buffer overflows in the checkscores function in scores.c in tetris-bsd in bsd-games before 2.17-r1 in Gentoo Linux might allow local users with games group membership to gain privileges by modifying tetris-bsd.scores to contain crafted executable content, which is executed when another user launches tetris-bsd.
