    Package        : freeciv
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-33250

    Louis Moureaux discovered that incorrect packet processing in the
    game server of Freeciv, a free clone of the turn based strategy game
    Civilization, could result in denial of service.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed
    in version 3.0.6-1+deb12u1.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.1.4+ds-2+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your freeciv packages.

    For the detailed security status of freeciv please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/freeciv
