    Roland Clobus discovered that the Pioneers server may free sessions
    objects while they are still in use, resulting in access to invalid
    memory zones (CVE-2007-5933). Bas Wijnen discovered an error when
    closing connections which can lead to a failed assertion
    (CVE-2007-6010).

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could send specially crafted data to the vulnerable
    server, resulting in a Denial of Service.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Pioneers users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=games-board/pioneers-0.11.3-r1&quot;</code>
