Hello asciijump maintainer,
asciijump postinst include:
install -d -m 777 /var/games/asciijump
This has the effect of making /var/games/asciijump world-writable,
which is a security concern on a multi-user system.
This can be used to escape quotas, crash the system by overflowing the
/var partitions, hide files, triggereing buffer overflow in the code
that read the file in /var/games/asciijump that would not be otherwise
possible to exploit and other nasty things.
Debian policy documents a way to avoid that:
make /var/games/asciijump writable only by group 'games' (or
'asciijump') and make asciijump sgid 'games' (or 'asciijump').
Cheers,
