Empire Server DoS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
" <http://www.wolfpackempire.com/> Empire is a real time, multiplayer,
Internet-based game, featuring military, diplomatic, and economic goals."
Improper handling of user input allows attackers to crash Empire server.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* Empire version 4.3.2 and prior
The server crash is caused by access to an invalid zone of the memory.
That happens due to the misuse of strncat in the client_cmd function for
adding the text strings sent by the attacker to the player->client buffer.
From lib/player/login.c:static int client_cmd(void)
{
int i;
if (!player->argp[1])
return RET_SYN;
for (i = 1; player->argp[i]; ++i) {
if (i > 1)
strncat(player->client, " ", sizeof(player->client) - 1);
strncat(player->client, player->argp[i], sizeof(player->client) -
1);
}
player->client[sizeof(player->client) - 1] = '\0';
pr_id(player, C_CMDOK, "talking to %s\n", player->client);
return RET_OK;
}
Vendor Status:
