Description:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in Freeciv, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) An error in the "generic_handle_player_attribute_chunk()" function in common/packets.c can be exploited to crash the service via a specially crafted PACKET_PLAYER_ATTRIBUTE_CHUNK packet sent to the server.
2) An error in the "handle_unit_orders()" function in server/unithand.c can be exploited to crash the service via a specially crafted packet.
