Linley's Dungeon Crawl Arbitrary Command Execution

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA18545

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/18545/

CRITICAL:
Not critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
Linley's Dungeon Crawl 4.x
http://secunia.com/product/2963/

DESCRIPTION:
Steve Kemp has reported a vulnerability in Linley's Dungeon Crawl,
which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain
escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to insecure execution of external
programs during the saving and loading of games. These can be
exploited to execute arbitrary commands with escalated privileges on
systems where the game has been installed setuid or setgid.

SOLUTION:
If this is considered a security issue, remove the game from the
system or remove any suid or sgid bits.

Games should never be installed on production systems.

Some Linux vendors have issued updated packages.
