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 handling of Gamespy CD-key hashes. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by supplying a specially crafted overly long hash to a vulnerable server (more than 100 bytes).

Successful exploitation may lead to execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.35 and prior.
