Description:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in Empire Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to boundary error in the "client_cmd()" function when adding text strings sent by a user to the "player->client" buffer. This can be exploited to cause an out-of-bounds memory access, which crashes the server.
The vulnerability has been reported in 4.3.2. Prior versions may also be affected.
Solution:
The vulnerability has been fixed in the CVS repositories.
