It has been reported that Xonix is prone to a vulnerability that may allow an attacker to gain elevated privileges. This issue occurs because the application fails to drop privileges. Successful exploitation of this issue may result in a local attacker gaining gid 'games' privileges.

This issue has been reported to affect Xonix version 1.4, however, it is possible that other versions are affected as well.
