Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200407-14 (Unreal Tournament 2003/2004: Buffer overflow in 'secure' queries)

The Unreal-based game servers support a specific type of query called 'secure'. Part of the Gamespy protocol, this query is used to ask if the game server is able to calculate an exact response using a provided string. Luigi Auriemma found that sending a long 'secure' query triggers a buffer overflow in the game server. Impact :

By sending a malicious UDP-based 'secure' query, an attacker could execute arbitrary code on the game server. Workaround :

Users can avoid this vulnerability by not using Unreal Tournament to host games as a server. All users running a server should upgrade to the latest versions.

Solution

All Unreal Tournament users should upgrade to the latest available versions: # emerge sync # emerge -pv '>=games-fps/ut2003-2225-r3' # emerge '>=games-fps/ut2003-2225-r3' # emerge -pv '>=games-server/ut2003-ded-2225-r2' # emerge '>=games-server/ut2003-ded-2225-r2' # emerge -pv '>=games-fps/ut2004-3236' # emerge '>=games-fps/ut2004-3236' # emerge -pv '>=games-fps/ut2004-demo-3120-r4' # emerge '>=games-fps/ut2004-demo-3120-r4'
