Ok, I looked into the MOHAA buffer overflow, and I _think_ that I have a
fix. I say "think" because I'm screwing with this from a hotel room
over ssh and don't have a MOHAA client installed to test locally, or
even MOHAA installed remotely to make sure the server will even start up.
In short, please consider this to be an extremely unstable beta until
proven otherwise.
http://icculus.org/betas/mohaa/mohaa-lnxded-07222004.tar.bz2
Download, unpack, replace mohaa_lnxded and fgameded.so in your server
installation.
Please note that this build was built with gcc3, and will need an
external support library. Explanation of what to do if you get an error
about "libstdc++" or something instead of a running server is here:

If someone can confirm that this build does indeed close the exploit and
doesn't generally suck, I'll do the same for Spearhead, too.
Thanks,
--ryan.
