Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Pioneers, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) A vulnerability is caused due to a session object being deleted while still in use. This can be exploited to crash the Pioneers server by sending specially crafted data.
2) An error within the "route_event()" function in common/state.c can be exploited to trigger an assert error, resulting in a DoS.
Solution:
Fixed in the SVN repository.
