Freeciv before 3.2.6 Heap Buffer Overflow via worklist_load

Freeciv versions before 3.2.6 contain a heap buffer overflow in worklist_load() when processing savegame files with declared worklist lengths exceeding the fixed array bound of 64 elements. Attackers can craft malicious savegame files that write past the entries array into adjacent heap-allocated struct fields, potentially corrupting memory when a user or server operator loads the file.

Freeciv 3.1.0 through 3.2.5 Out-of-Bounds Read via Savegame

Freeciv versions 3.1.0 through 3.2.5 contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in sg_load_player_unit() when processing savegame files with invalid unit activity indices. An attacker can craft a malicious savegame file with an out-of-range activity index that bypasses bounds checking and causes a crash or limited heap memory exposure when loaded.

packets.c in Freeciv 2.0 before 2.0.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) via crafted packets with negative compressed size values.

Buffer overflow in Freeciv 2.1.0-beta1 and earlier, and SVN 15 Jul 2006 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a (1) negative chunk_length or a (2) large chunk->offset value in a PACKET_PLAYER_ATTRIBUTE_CHUNK packet in the generic_handle_player_attribute_chunk function in common/packets.c, and (3) a large packet->length value in the handle_unit_orders function in server/unithand.c.

freeciv 2.2 before 2.2.1 and 2.3 before 2.3.0 allows attackers to read arbitrary files or execute arbitrary commands via a scenario that contains Lua functionality, related to the (1) os, (2) io, (3) package, (4) dofile, (5) loadfile, (6) loadlib, (7) module, and (8) require modules or functions.

Freeciv before 2.6.7 and before 3.0.3 is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Modpack Installer utility's handling of the modpack URL.

Freeciv before 2.3.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted packet.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the server component of Freeciv before 2.3.4 processed certain packets. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted packet that, when processed would lead to memory exhaustion or excessive CPU consumption.
