Synopsis
========

LTris is vulnerable to a buffer overflow which could lead to the
execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

LTris is a Tetris clone.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package             /  Vulnerable  /                   Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  games-puzzle/ltris      < 1.0.10                        >= 1.0.10

Description
===========

LTris is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when reading the global
highscores file.

Impact
======

By modifying the global highscores file a malicious user could trick
another user to execute arbitrary code.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All LTris users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=games-puzzle/ltris-1.0.10"
