[cod] infostring exceeded

[*DST* hurricane]

Burgholte.de - Ing.-Büro für InformationstechnikHello dear members of the icculus mailing list
since our linux cod4 server has a brandnew mod and entered rank 133 on gametracker it gets more and more abused by getinfo attacks and oversized infostring shutdowns of 1025 byte long infostring packets

this is a little outtake from our console.log


Info string length exceeded
key: 'hc'
value: '1'
Info string:
\challenge\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\protocol\6\hostname\^3Devils^1Sniper^3Team ^2Sniper ^1Hell\mapname\mp_tlotd_suez\clients\11\sv_maxclients\50\gametype\war\pure\1\game\mods/dst_ultimate_l2\ff\2




shortly after those messages the servers crashes very often.

is someone able to help on this issue ?

at luigi auriemma i read about a patch for older cod to limit packets to 512 byte. 

another solution would be to drop packages by firewall rule, but i have to say im not that skilled in developing a rule for it.



thx a lot
