Description: Debian has issued updated packages for marbles. These fix a vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to escalate their privileges on a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the handling of the "HOME" environment variable. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow making it possible to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the "games" group.
