Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:135 (freeciv)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to freeciv announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:135. 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. Affected: 2006.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2006:135 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
