Background ========== OpenTTD is a clone of Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 games-simulation/openttd < 0.6.3 >= 0.6.3 Description =========== Multiple buffer overflows have been reported in OpenTTD, when storing long for client names (CVE-2008-3547), in the TruncateString function in src/gfx.cpp (CVE-2008-3576) and in src/openttd.cpp when processing a large filename supplied to the "-g" parameter in the ttd_main function (CVE-2008-3577). Impact ====== An authenticated attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the OpenTTD server. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time.
