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.

Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.
