Description:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in Painkiller, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the server when processing a password supplied by a client during the connection establishment. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending a packet with an overly long string in the password field to a vulnerable server.
Successful exploitation may potentially allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.3.1 and prior.
