    Summary: Updated armagetron package fixes security vulnerabilities

    Details: A practically exploitable bug was fixed in the network error handling. In client mode, any received packet that causes an exception during processing would terminate the connection to the server. Another theoretically exploitable bug was fixed that allowed very short UDP packets to cause a memory reading beyond the input buffer. Several non-exploitable crash bugs and one pathological camera behavior were also fixed.
