  <description>
    <p>
    Nexuiz fails to correctly validate input within "clientcommands". There
    is also a failure to correctly handle connection attempts from remote
    hosts.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    Using a specially crafted "clientcommand" a remote attacker can cause a
    buffer overflow in Nexuiz which could result in the execution of
    arbitrary code. Additionally, there is a Denial of Service
    vulnerability in Nexuiz allowing an attacker to cause Nexuiz to crash
    or to run out of resources by overloading it with specially crafted
    connection requests.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Nexuiz users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=games-fps/nexuiz-2.2.1"</code>
  </resolution>
