NVD Description

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

nethack 3.4.0 and earlier installs certain setgid binaries with insecure permissions, which allows local users to gain privileges by replacing the original binaries with malicious code.
