    Summary:Falcon's Eye is vulnerable to a buffer overflow. The Falcon's Eye package is installed setuid games. By passing an overly long argument to Falcon's Eye using the -s command line option, a local attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with "setuid games" privileges.
