Scorched 3D: Multiple vulnerabilities Multiple vulnerabilities in Scorched 3D allow a remote attacker to deny service or execute arbitrary code on game servers. scorched3d November 15, 2005 August 10, 2006: 03 111421 remote 40 39.1

Scorched 3D is a clone of the classic "Scorched Earth" DOS game, adding features like a 3D island environment and Internet multiplayer capabilities.

Luigi Auriemma discovered multiple flaws in the Scorched 3D game server, including a format string vulnerability and several buffer overflows.

A remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to crash a game server or execute arbitrary code with the rights of the game server user. Users not running a Scorched 3D game server are not affected by these flaws.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Scorched 3D users should upgrade to the latest version:
