Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Nexuiz, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands or cause a denial of service.

The first issue is due to an input validation error within "clientcommands", which could be exploited by remote attackers to inject arbitrary commands.

The second issue is due to an error when processing player connections, which could be exploited by attackers to crash a vulnerable application or exhaust all available memory resources, creating a denial of service condition.
