Description:
Luigi Auriemma has reported two vulnerabilities in Warrior Kings and Warrior Kings: Battle, 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 text visualization may be exploited to execute arbitrary code by joining with a specially crafted nickname.
The vulnerability has been reported in Warrior Kings: Battles 1.23 and prior, and Warrior Kings 1.3 and prior.
2) An error in the handling of partial join packets can be exploited to crash a vulnerable server by sending a specially crafted UDP datagram.
The vulnerability has been reported in Warrior Kings: Battles 1.23 and prior.
Solution:
Host games on a trusted network only.
