-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-11582 2012-08-09 22:04:04 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #846368 - redeclipse: arbitrary file disclosue flaw with transmitted map cfg scripts https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846368 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
