If anyone wants to practice more here's a list of all open security problems
of games in sid, all easily NMUable:

bzflag     - DoS attack against server, #345245, no maintainer reaction since
             2005-12-29.
netpanzer  - DoS attack against server, #318329, no maintainer reaction since
             2005-07-12(!)
scorched3d - Arbitrary code execution through format string attacks and
             buffer overflows, plus DoS, all in the server, no maintainer
             reaction since 2005-11-04
Cheers,
        Moritz
