Detail

Synopsis

Two Denial of Service vulnerabilities were discovered in Pioneers.

Description

Roland Clobus discovered that the Pioneers server may free sessions objects while they are still in use, resulting in access to invalid memory zones (CVE-2007-5933). Bas Wijnen discovered an error when closing connections which can lead to a failed assertion
(CVE-2007-6010).

Resolution

All Pioneers users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=games-board/pioneers-0.11.3-r1"
