Just released freeciv-2.6.7 & freeciv-3.0.3 fix buffer overflow in Modpack Installer utility's handling of the modpack URL. Specially crafted URLs, without any '/' -characters would result in an underflowing length (unsigned)(-1) string copy, i.e., all of the NULL-terminated string given as "URL" would get written beyond the buffer reserved for it. Freeciv source tarballs are available from https://www.freeciv.org/download.html for current 3.0, and from https://www.freeciv.org/wiki/Old_downloads for 2.6. In case you can't make full version update at the moment, bug tracker ticket has also a patch for this single issue attached: https://osdn.net/projects/freeciv/ticket/45299 - ML
