[Eversmann Wolfspain.net]

Looks like that is the old exploit that was fixed long ago. I think Luigi
haven't posted what is the current exploit yet.

What I find interesting is this:

This page is supposedly by the person who discovered the exploit(s).
Towards the end of the page, we see:

The following is the patches'situation in the moment I'm writing:
 
  Battlefield 1942.....................FIXED only Linux DS 1.6RC2.

So, uh.. if the issue is already fixed, all the server needs
(theoretically) is to be updated to work with the 1.61 client release..
  I don't see how this could be taking so long, unless there are
additional problems.
 
So.. what's the deal? Andy? Andreas? I know no-one here is blaming you
guys.. but this sort of problem is much easier to bear if we're kept
informed as to what's going on!
 
Cheers,
