Package : xonix
Vulnerability : failure to drop privileges

CVE Ids : CAN-2004-0157
Steve Kemp discovered a vulnerability in xonix, a game, where an
external program was invoked while retaining setgid privileges. A
local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain gid "games".
For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem will be fixed

We recommend that you update your xonix package.
