Tycoon Deluxe" by Microprose.

Description
===========

Alexey Dobriyan discovered several format string vulnerabilities in
OpenTTD.

Impact

A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to crash the
OpenTTD server or client and possibly execute arbitrary code with the
rights of the user running OpenTTD.

Workaround
