Painkiller long cd key hash buffer overflow
| painkiller-long-cdkey-bo (19205) |  High Risk |
Description:
Painkiller is vulnerable to a buffer overflow. The standard cd key is 72 characters. By sending a long cd key (more than 100 bytes) to the Painkiller server, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer. This could be exploited to possibly allow execution of arbitrary code on the system or a denial of service.
