Detail

Luigi Auriemma discovered missing boundary checks in freeciv, a clone of the well known Civilisation game, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.1-1sarge2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your freeciv package.
