The read_game_map function in src/terrain_translation.cpp in Wesnoth
before r32987 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(memory consumption and daemon hang) via a map with a large (1) width
or (2) height.
Comment 1 Vincent Danen 2009-12-04 22:18:46 UTC 
This would be fixed upstream in version 1.6; current Fedora ships with 1.6.4 or later so this doesn't affect Fedora.
