TITLE:
trr19 Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA10744

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://www.secunia.com/advisories/10744/

CRITICAL:
Not critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
trr19 1.x

DESCRIPTION:
Steve Kemp has reported a vulnerability in trr19, allowing malicious
users to execute programs with group "games" privileges.

The problem is that trr19 doesn't drop privileges before executing
commands.

SOLUTION:
If this is considered a security issue, remove trr19 from the system
or remove the sgid bit.

Games should never be installed on production systems.
