CVE-2006-3913, http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2006-3913 :

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.

All FE-[345] and devel are probably affected.
