Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A buffer overflow vulnerability in client/server Doom (csDoom) 0.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long nickname or teamname to the SV_SetupUserInfo function, or execute arbitrary code via a long string sent when joining a match or a long chat message to the SV_BroadcastPrintf function.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes potential takeover of the game server or client, which could lead to system compromise, data theft, or use of the server for further attacks.

Recommendation

Immediately update csDoom to a version newer than 0.7 if available, or apply a security patch. If no update is available, restrict server access to trusted users only.
