Background ========== Quake 3 is a multiplayer first person shooter. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 games-fps/quake3-bin < 1.32c >= 1.32c 2 games-fps/rtcw < 1.41b >= 1.41b 3 games-fps/enemy-territory < 2.60b >= 2.60b ------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Description =========== landser discovered a vulnerability within the "remapShader" command. Due to a boundary handling error in "remapShader", there is a possibility of a buffer overflow.
