Ulf Härnhammar from the Debian Security Audit Project discovered a problem in typespeed, a touch-typist trainer disguised as game. This could lead to a local attacker executing arbitrary code as group games.

Our typespeed is not SGID games or SUID whatever. So you can just execute code as yourself...
