Description: A vulnerability has been reported in Call of Duty, Call of Duty United Offensive, and Call of Duty 2, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "callvote map" command. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by calling the command with a long "MAP" parameter (more than 64 bytes).
Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.

Call of Duty version 1.5b
Call of Duty United Offensive version 1.51b

Other versions may also be affected.
Solution: Restrict access to game servers to trusted people only.
