Hi

teeworlds's upstream mentioned the following regardin the 0.6.3 release[1]:

0.6.3 released - security fix

As a result of a recently reported security vulnerability in the server,
this release contains little updates. In particular it's only the
following changes:

Bugfixes:

 * Fix the above-mentioned security vulnerability (Memory reads,
   Segmentation Fault) in all 0.6.x servers.

 * Fix server crash in the console code.

 * Fix master server lookup for servers.

 * Fix scripts/make_release.py script.

 * Fix client crash when opening a map with an invalid version.

As a result, server owners are urged to upgrade ASAP, you're running an
exploitable server right now.

Client updates however, are not as urgent as the server updates, because
the only fix is an editor crash.

I'm not sure if (and how many) CVEs might be assigned. The server
crash was fixed with commit in [2].
