--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : redeclipse
Product : Fedora 17
Version : 1.2
Release : 12.fc17
URL : http://www.redeclipse.net/
Summary : Multiplayer FPS game based on Cube2
Description :
A single-player and multi-player first-person ego-shooter, built on Cube
Engine 2, which lends itself toward a balanced gameplay, completely at
the control of map makers, while maintaining a general theme of agility
in a variety of environments.
Features:
* Balanced gameplay, with a general theme of agility in a variety of
environments
* Parkour, impulse boosts, dashing, sliding, and other tricks
* Favourite gamemodes with tons of mutators and variables
* Available for Windows, Linux/BSD and Mac OSX
* Builtin editor lets you create your own maps cooperatively online
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
A flaw was found in the way Red Eclipse handled config files. In cube2-engine games, game maps can
be transmitted either from the server to a client, or from client to client. These maps include a
config file (mapname.cfg) in "cubescript" format, which allows for an attacker to send a malicious
script via a new map. This map must either be chosen by an administrator on the server, or created
in co-operative editing mode. A malicious script could then be used to read or write to any files
that the user running the client has access to when the victim loads a map with the malicious
configuration file.
The patch included in this update stops "textedit" commands being able to be run in map-run
scripts, thus disabling the ability to read/write to user files.
