heap buffer overflow in freedroidrpg saved game

[Michał]

This issue assumes that users may load malicious save games, for example downloaded or
received from other users. While loading a save game, heap buffer overflow occurs because the application uses fixed size buffers which can be overrun if save game file contains more than
4096 characters between "beginning_of_map" and '\n' or between '' and '\n'.

Hello Michał, thanks for the bug report.

Canonical is a CNA that can assign CVEs, but we are limited in which programs and which conditions we can assign numbers. For this issue, please request a CVE from https://cveform.mitre.org/ .

Thanks
