Warzone Resurrection NETrecvFile buffer overflow
| warzone-netrecvfile-bo (27915) |  High Risk |
Description:
Warzone Resurrection is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking of the NETrecvFile module in the netplay.c file. By sending a file with an overly long filename, a remote attacker in control of a malicious server could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the victim's system to crash.
