Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2012-01-06 12:03:13 UTC 
CVE-2011-4675 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-4675):
  The pathname canonicalization functionality in io/filesystem/filesystem.cc
  in Widelands before 15.1 expands leading ~ (tilde) characters to
  home-directory pathnames but does not restrict use of these characters in
  strings received from the network, which might allow remote attackers to
  conduct absolute path traversal attacks and overwrite arbitrary files via a
  ~ in a pathname that is used for a file transfer in an Internet game, a
  different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1932.


This is fixed in 0.16. Please remove earlier versions from the tree.
