Updated armagetron package fixes security vulnerabilities

Publication date: 09 Jan 2016
Modification date: 09 Jan 2016
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 5

Description

A practically exploitable bug was fixed in the network error handling.
In client mode, any received packet that causes an exception during
processing would terminate the connection to the server.

Another theoretically exploitable bug was fixed that allowed very short UDP
packets to cause a memory reading beyond the input buffer.

Several non-exploitable crash bugs and one pathological camera behavior
were also fixed.
