Description:
Luigi Auriemma has reported two vulnerabilities in Liero Xtreme, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a user's system.
1) An error within the handling of the "connect" command can be exploited to crash the server or to cause it to stop responding via an overly long string passed to the command.
2) A format string error in the client can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code via a specially-crafted nickname or mapname. This can e.g. be exploited by hosting a malicious dedicated server with a specially-crafted server name.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 0.62b and prior.
Solution:
Host network games only within trusted networks and do not connect to non-trusted game servers.
