TITLE:
Abuse-SDL Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA14495

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/14495/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
Abuse-SDL 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/697/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Abuse-SDL, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to overwrite files or gain
escalated privileges.

1) Boundary errors in the command line handling can be exploited to
cause buffer overflows by passing overly long command line
arguments.

2) Some files are created without dropping privileges and can be
exploited to create or overwrite arbitrary files on the system.

Successful exploitation requires that the game has been installed
setuid or setgid.

SOLUTION:
Remove setuid and setgid bits.

Grant only trusted users access to affected systems.
