Description:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in the Unreal engine, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable server.
The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error within the Classes management. This can be exploited by sending a specially crafted request containing a class name including format specifiers.
The following games use the Unreal engine with multiplayer support and may be affected:
* America's Army
* DeusEx
* Devastation
* Magic Battlegrounds
* Mobile Forces
* Nerf Arena Blast
* Postal 2
* Rainbow Six: Raven Shield

* TNN Pro Hunter
* Unreal 1
* Unreal II XMP
* Unreal Tournament
