    Package        : typespeed
    Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
    Problem-Type   : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id         : CAN-2003-0435
    
    typespeed is a game which challenges the player to type words
    correctly and quickly.  It contains a network play mode which allows
    players on different systems to play competitively.  The network code
    contains a buffer overflow which could allow a remote attacker to
    execute arbitrary code under the privileges of the user invoking
    typespeed, in addition to gid games.
    
    For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.4.1-2.2.
    
    For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed
    in version 0.4.0-5.2.
    
    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
    
    We recommend that you update your typespeed package.
