Quake III Arena, Wolfenstein Patches

id programmer Timothee Besset's .plan file announces that they are at E3 showing off Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, the Mac Quake 4 patch mentioned earlier, and gives word on patches to close exploits in Quake 3 Arena, Return To Castle Wolfenstein, and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, as well as a new Linux installer for RTCW:

Updates to Quake III Arena, Return To Castle Wolfenstein, and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are releasing updates to all three games to fix some security issues discovered following our release of the Quake III Arena source code under GPL.

fb83b8732fc7373c277180b663debf57 ET-2.60b.zip [3]

The zips hold binaries for all the operating systems we support. You need to upgrade to the latest through the usual installers first, and replace the engine binaries with the newer ones.

The issues fixed are CVE-2006-2082 ( information leak ), and a buffer overflow exploitable by malicious servers ( CVE-2006-2236 ). More details are in the README.txt in each zip.

Updated GNU/Linux Return To Castle Wolfenstein 1.41b installer:
---------------------------------------------------------------

While working on the above I realized the latest GNU/Linux installer for RTCW was quite broken, so I repackaged it into a full setup.
