*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

(mdeslaur):

Freeciv client can internally launch server for itself. For development
purposes, it *prefers* to run server as program named "ser" (or server
/freeciv-server) under current working directory. There is some
potential for attacker to place his own program named ser in world
writable directory and to trick user to run freeciv client in that
directory.

Upstream patch for this is at http://gna.org/patch/index.php?2827

** Affects: freeciv (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
