Synopsis ========
A buffer overflow in the network code of Typespeed can lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
Typespeed is a game to test and practice 10-finger-typing. Network code allows two users to compete head-to-head.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 games-misc/typespeed < 0.5.0 >= 0.5.0
Description ===========
Niko Tyni discovered a buffer overflow in the addnewword() function of Typespeed's network code.
Impact ======
By sending specially crafted network packets to a machine running Typespeed in multiplayer mode, a remote attacker can execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the game.
Workaround ==========
Do not run Typespeed in multiplayer mode. There is no known workaround at this time for multiplayer mode.
Resolution ==========
All Typespeed users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=games-misc/typespeed-0.5.0"
