Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities in Scorched 3D allow a remote attacker to deny |
19 |
service or execute arbitrary code on game servers. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
Scorched 3D is a clone of the classic "Scorched Earth" DOS game, adding |
25 |
features like a 3D island environment and Internet multiplayer |
26 |
capabilities. |
27 |
|
28 |
Affected packages |
29 |
================= |
30 |
|
31 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
32 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
33 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
34 |
1 games-strategy/scorched3d <= 39.1 Vulnerable! |
35 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
36 |
NOTE: Certain packages are still vulnerable. Users should migrate |
37 |
to another package if one is available or wait for the |
38 |
existing packages to be marked stable by their |
39 |
architecture maintainers. |

Description |
42 |
=========== |
43 |
|
44 |
Luigi Auriemma discovered multiple flaws in the Scorched 3D game |
45 |
server, including a format string vulnerability and several buffer |
46 |
overflows. |
47 |
|
48 |
Impact |
49 |
====== |
50 |
|
51 |
A remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to crash a game |
52 |
server or execute arbitrary code with the rights of the game server |
53 |
user. Users not running a Scorched 3D game server are not affected by |
54 |
these flaws. |
55 |
|
56 |
Workaround |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
60 |
|
61 |
Resolution |
62 |
========== |
63 |
|
64 |
The Scorched 3D package has been hard-masked until a new version |
65 |
correcting these flaws is released. In the meantime, current users are |
66 |
advised to unmerge the package: |
67 |
|
68 |
# emerge --unmerge games-strategy/scorched3d |
69 |
