Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Dopewars, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error when writing to the log file. This can be exploited to crash the Dopewars server service and may allow arbitrary code execution.
Successful exploitation requires that the Dopewars server is run as a Windows service.
The vulnerability has been reported in versions prior to 1.5.12 and affects only the Windows version.
