      Buffer Overflow In Soldier Of Fortune II
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://www.ravensoft.com> Soldier of Fortune II is a widely played FPS
    game released in May 2002.

    The Soldier of Fortune II game server can be crashed by sending a big
    cl_guid value.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * Soldier Of Fortune II Version 1.03 gold and lower.

    Sending the server a request with a big cl_guid value can crash the game
    server.

    Exploit Code:
    An exploit code for this vulnerability can be found at:
     <http://aluigi.altervista.org/poc/sof2guidboom.zip>
    http://aluigi.altervista.org/poc/sof2guidboom.zip

    Vendor Status:
    The game is still "officially" unpatched from months so it can be declared
    no longer supported.
    An unofficial work-around only for the Windows version can be found here:
    <http://aluigi.altervista.org/patches/sof2-103-guidfix.zip>
    http://aluigi.altervista.org/patches/sof2-103-guidfix.zip
    The workaround checks the length of the cl_guid value and reject clients
    that send a value bigger than 64 bytes (the max size of the cl_guid
    buffer).
