+ <description>
+ <p>
+ 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.

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