DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Freeciv, which can be exploited
by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The security issue exists due to the Lua run time environment
allowing access to the operating system specific modules and
functions. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary shell commands
via a specially crafted saved game or scenario file.

The security issue is reported in versions prior to 2.2.1.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.2.1.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
