Secunia

Luigi Auriemma has reported multiple vulnerabilities in Secret Wars, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service), conduct script insertion attacks, and compromise a vulnerable system.

1) An error in the communication handling can be exploited to cause the listening thread to terminate by sending an overly long UDP datagram (1401 bytes or more) to a vulnerable server.

2) A format string error when handling messages can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted message to a vulnerable server.

3) Input passed via messages is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in an administrator's browser session when the server logs containing the malicious data is viewed via the web-based interface.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in a retail version with patch v30830 or prior applied.
