two new vulnerabilities affecting also code, as present
in Alien Arena (from [1]):

A, "Multiple auto downloading DoS conditions:
   By supplying various invalid parameters to the download command,
   it is possible to cause a DoS condition by causing the server to
   crash. A path ending in . or / will crash on Linux. Supplying
   a negative offset will cause a crash on all platforms."

CVSSv2 Score: 4.0/AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:P
-------------

B, "Server-side cvar expansion:
   By passing an unexpanded string containing $macros to the
   server, the server will expand it using it's cvars. This can
   be used to leak sensitive information such as the rcon_password cvar."

These issues affect the versions of the alienarena package,
as shipped with Fedora release of 11 and 12.

Please fix (once the patch for second issue is available).

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2010-04-06 15:20:35 UTC
Cmd_TokenizeString (s, false) is used in alienarena's sv_user.c, so the second issue does not appear to be applicable.
