 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2006:135
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : freeciv
 Date    : July 31, 2006
 Affected: 2006.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 Buffer overflow in Freeciv 2.1.0-beta1 and earlier, and SVN 15 Jul
 2006 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
 (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a (1) negative
 chunk_length or a (2) large chunk->offset value in a
 PACKET_PLAYER_ATTRIBUTE_CHUNK packet in the
 generic_handle_player_attribute_chunk function in common/packets.c, and
 (3) a large packet->length value in the handle_unit_orders function in 
 server/unithand.c.
 
 The updated packages have been patched to fix this issue.
