Q3A/Linux Vulnerability -- 3:38 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

A vulnerability has been discovered in the 1.29f and 1.29g versions of Quake III Arena for Linux. Sending a certain string of characters to a server in an attempt to connect will cause a server to segfault. Check out the Bugtraq information here. The only workaround is to go back to 1.17, which is a pretty miserable option. Hopefully id will address this soon. Thanks Linux Games.
