A patch has been commited today in the ports collection. I have not
tested either of the patched and un-patched proggies...

>
> Greetings,
>
> OVERVIEW
> A vulnerability in FreeBSD 3.3's xsoldier will allow any user to gain root
> access. This user does not have to have a valid $DISPLAY to exploit this.
>
> BACKGROUND
> Only FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE has been tested. xsoldier, suid-root by default, was
> installed as part of the X11 games packages via /stand/sysinstall.
>
> DETAILS
> More problems with FreeBSD 3.3 ports. This time with xsoldier, a suid-root
> game. A simple overflow in the -display option allows any user to gain root.
> Although xsoldier only runs under X, a long -display arg on the CL will allow
> us to gain root.
