Description:
Luigi Auriemma has reported some vulnerabilities in Kreed, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
1) A format string error in the handling of nicknames and messages can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted message or joining with a specially crafted nickname on the server.
2) An error in the communication handling can be exploited to crash a vulnerable server by sending an UDP datagram of 1401 bytes or more.
3) A problem in the error handling when dealing with overly long nicknames and model types can be exploited to cause a vulnerable server to freeze.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.05. Other versions may also be affected.
