More information:

A problem has been discovered in gnocatan, the computer version of the settlers of Catan boardgame, that can lead the server and other clients to exit via an assert, and hence does not permit the execution of arbitrary code. The game has been renamed into Pioneers after the release of Debian sarge.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.6.1-5woody3.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.8.1.59-1sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.49-1 of pioneers.

We recommend that you upgrade your gnocatan and pioneers packages.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody)
