Package: ioquake3
Version: 1.36
Severity: grave

Hi,

earlier today ioquake3 fixed a vulnerability that, as far as I 
understand, could let malicious multiplayer servers execute code on 
connecting clients.
It affects all prior versions of ioquake3 (and I think also original 
Quake 3).
Details:

So you should probably update to latest ioq3 git or backport the fix.

Cheers,
Daniel
