"As a basic rule of thumb, if it supports gamespy, it will likely be
vulnerable."

I assume some of you have seen this.  Of course BF is included in the
bunch.  The reasearh into this exploit was done using the bf1942 server.
Don't know if anything can be done to prevent it at this point but now
it's official.
