Hi,
two CVEs had been issued against alien-arena:
CVE-2007-4754[0]:
Format string vulnerability in the safe_bprintf function in 
acesrc/acebot_cmds.c in Alien Arena 2007 6.10 and earlier 
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon 
crash) via format string specifiers in a nickname.

CVE-2007-4755[1]:
Alien Arena 2007 6.10 and earlier allows remote attackers to 
cause a denial of service (client disconnect) by sending a 
client_connect command in a forged paket from the server to 
a client. NOTE: client IP addresses are available via 
product-specific queries.

If you fix this issue please include the CVE id in your 
changelog.
