NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream teeworlds package and not the teeworlds package as distributed by Ubuntu.

In Teeworlds before 0.6.5, connection packets could be forged. There was no challenge-response involved in the connection build up. A remote attacker could send connection packets from a spoofed IP address and occupy all server slots, or even use them for a reflection attack using map download packets.
