    Package : openarena
    Vulnerability : UDP traffic amplification
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2010-5077
    Debian Bug : 665656

    It has been discovered that spoofed "getstatus" UDP requests are being
    sent by attackers to servers for use with games derived from the
    Quake 3 engine (such as openarena). These servers respond with a
    packet flood to the victim whose IP address was impersonated by the
    attackers, causing a denial of service.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.8.5-5+squeeze2.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution
    (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.8.5-6.

    We recommend that you upgrade your openarena packages.
