[cod] [Fwd: [Full-Disclosure] Broadcast shutdown in Call ofDuty 1.4]

No.  The problem is within the game itself.  Apparently, Call of Duty
contains checks against buffer overflow exploits, and if it detects an
exploit, it terminates the game.  So somebody can very easily force a
game server to shut down.
