Description:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in GGZ Gaming Zone, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the client within the handling of malformed XML data. This can be exploited to cause clients to be disconnected from the server e.g. by joining the server with a nickname that contains the single quote character, with a nickname that is longer than 16 characters, or via an overly long text message.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 0.0.12 and prior.
Solution:
Host network games only within trusted networks and do not connect to non-trusted game servers.
