NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pioneers package and not the pioneers package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Pioneers (formerly gnocatan) before 0.11.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by triggering a delete operation while the Session object is still being used, as demonstrated by causing a "Broken pipe" error.
