  <title>Doomsday: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
  <synopsis>

    arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.

    games like Doom, Heretic and Hexen.

  <description>
    <p>
    Luigi Auriemma discovered multiple buffer overflows in the
    D_NetPlayerEvent() function, the Msg_Write() function and the
    NetSv_ReadCommands() function. He also discovered errors when handling
    chat messages that are not NULL-terminated (CVE-2007-4642) or contain a
    short data length, triggering an integer underflow (CVE-2007-4643).
    Furthermore a format string vulnerability was discovered in the
    Cl_GetPackets() function when processing PSV_CONSOLE_TEXT messages
    (CVE-2007-4644).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute
    arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the Doomsday server
    or cause a Denial of Service by sending specially crafted messages to
    the server.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    While some of these issues could be resolved in
    "games-fps/doomsday-1.9.0-beta5.2", the format string vulnerability
    (CVE-2007-4644) remains unfixed. We recommend that users unmerge
    Doomsday:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --unmerge games-fps/doomsday</code>
  </resolution>
