Discussion

Freeciv Lua Runtime Environment Remote Command Execution Vulnerability

Freeciv is prone to a remote command-execution vulnerability that exists in the Lua runtime environment because the software fails to properly handle specially crafted 'saved game' or 'scenario' files.

An attacker could exploit this issue by enticing a victim to open a file.

Successful exploits would allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands within the context of the affected application.

Versions prior to Freeciv 2.2.1 are vulnerable.
