Application
===========

GTetrinet 0.4.4

Description
===========

GTetrinet is a Tetrinet client using Gtk+ and GNOME-libs.
Tetrinet is a variant of the popular Tetris brick game, that can be played
simultaneously by 6 players. GTetrinet's goal is to remain completely
compatible with the Windows, original client. Tetrinet clients need to
connect to a dedicated server in order to be useful. GTetrient only provides
the client part, but there are plenty of available servers around.
Look at http://www.tetrinet.org/ for a list of servers.

Notes
=====

Shortly after releasing 0.4.3, Steve Kemp notified us about a few bad
security issues in gtetrinet. Several buffer overflows have been fixed
by James Antill in this release. Steve was able to modify tetrinetx to
make gtetrinet crash and get remote shell access with the user ID of
whoever is playing with gtetrinet, so it's _VERY IMPORTANT_ that you
either upgrade to GTetrinet 0.4.4 or use a backport of this fix.

Fixes
=====

- SECURITY FIX: multiple buffer overflows fixed all over the place.
  This CAN be exploited REMOTELY, please upgrade ASAP.
  Special thanks go to Steve Kemp for working on an exploit and its fix,
  and James Antill for the patch which fixes the problems in this release.

Download
========
