The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200603-11 (Freeciv: Denial of Service)

Luigi Auriemma discovered that Freeciv could be tricked into the     allocation of enormous chunks of memory when trying to uncompress     malformed data packages, possibly leading to an out of memory condition     which causes Freeciv to crash or freeze.

Impact :

A remote attacker could exploit this issue to cause a Denial of     Service by sending specially crafted data packages to the Freeciv game     server.

Workaround :

Play solo games or restrict your multiplayer games to trusted     parties.
