Title: Atari800 Emulator Multiple Unspecified Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Atari800 is an Atari800/XL/XE/520 emulator, due to the nature of the software the emulator is installed with setuid superuser privileges. It is reported that this application is only installed setuid superuser when it is compiled to utilize SVGALIB.
Multiple unspecified buffer overflow vulnerabilities affect the Atari800 Emulator. These issues are due to a failure of the application to properly validate the length of user-supplied strings prior to copying them into static process buffers.
The details available surrounding these issues are insufficient to provide a more in-depth technical description. This BID will be updated as more details are released.
Although the impact of these issues are currently unknown, due to the nature of the application being typically setuid, it is likely that these are local vulnerabilities that allow for privilege escalation.
