Source: nethack
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

Dear Maintainer,

Debian 10 (Buster) currently uses nethack 3.6.1. The website for nethack at

https://nethack.org/security/index.html

shows security issues have resulted in multiple (up to now 5) point releases
fixing things like buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including some that can
lead to escalation of privileges. The upstream maintainers recommend "upgrade
as soon as possible" for many of the CVE documented issues.

Seems like the vunerabilities are important enough to warrant an upgrade in
Buster.
