GLSA-200604-11 : Crossfire server: Denial of Service and potential arbitrary code execution

medium Nessus Plugin ID 21276

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200604-11 (Crossfire server: Denial of Service and potential arbitrary code execution)

 Luigi Auriemma discovered a vulnerability in the Crossfire game server, in the handling of the 'oldsocketmode' option when processing overly large requests.
 Impact :

 An attacker can set up a malicious Crossfire client that would send a large request in 'oldsocketmode', resulting in a Denial of Service on the Crossfire server and potentially in the execution of arbitrary code on the server with the rights of the game server.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All Crossfire server users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=games-server/crossfire-server-1.9.0'
