Title: XBlockOut XBL Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
XBlockOut (XBL) is a game developed for Linux and Unix variant operating systems.
Several buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been reported for XBL that may result in an attacker obtaining elevated privileges. The vulnerabilities have been reported to exist due to insufficient bounds checking performed on user-supplied data to commandline arguments.
The precise technical details of these vulnerabilities are currently unknown. This BID will be updated as further information becomes available.
As XBL is typically installed setuid/setgid 'games', successful exploitation may result in an attacker obtaining elevated privileges.
