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.

Provided and/or discovered by
Bas Wijnen. Gentoo also credits Roland Clobus.
