Q3A Beta Security Patch

A .plan update by id Software programmer Robert Duffy gives word of a new Quake III Arena 1.16i Beta update now on the id Software FTP server. Here is a local copy of the Windows patch (401 KB), the Linux patch (619 KB), and the Mac patch (387 KB), each with a list of mirrors. Here's the entirety of the brief .plan update, which indicates this addresses security:

Q3A 1.16i Beta is now on our ftp site. This is a small executable only patch that enhances security. It is available in three flavors, Win32 ( a .zip file ), Linux ( a .gz ) and Macintosh ( a self extracting archive ).
