Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in Chris Moneymaker's World Poker Championship, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when using "sprintf()" to create a message string containing the nickname of a new user joining the game. This can potentially be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via an overly long nickname.
