Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2004-1264
Debian Bug     : 285904

Danny Lungstrom discoverd a vulnerability in chbg, a tool to change
background pictures.  A maliciously crafted configuration/scenario
file could overflow a buffer and lead to the execution of arbitrary
code on the victim's machine.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5-1woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your chbg package.
