Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2012-10-09 00:07:43 UTC
CVE-2012-1189 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-1189):
  Stack-based buffer overflow in modules/graphic/ssgraph/grsound.cpp in The
  Open Racing Car Simulator (TORCS) before 1.3.3 and Speed Dreams allows
  user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long file
  name in an engine sample attribute in an xml configuration file.

Looks like neither torcs nor speed-dreams in tree are affected. Do we care enough for a GLSA?
Comment 2 Tobias Heinlein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-08-04 19:38:06 UTC
Did we ever issue a GLSA for games?

This isn't actually up for vote, but I'd vote NO.

GLSA vote: no.
