redeclipse: file disclosure

Package(s):redeclipse CVE #(s):
Created:August 20, 2012 Updated:August 22, 2012
Description: From the Fedora advisory:

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.

Alerts:
Fedora FEDORA-2012-11582 2012-08-19
