Background ========== OpenTTD is an open source clone of the simulation game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe" by Microprose. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 games-simulation/openttd < 0.4.0.1-r1 >= 0.4.0.1-r1 Description =========== Alexey Dobriyan discovered several format string vulnerabilities in OpenTTD. Impact ====== A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to crash the OpenTTD server or client and possibly execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running OpenTTD. Workaround ========== There are no known workarounds at this time.
