Hum... I have a code chunk that is an overflow issue that I have been
meaning to test for about 2 months now and I have not had the time.
U really don't need the code chunk, any user can enter the command from
console and crash a server according to the post I picked the info up
from on a reliable anti-cheat server.<br><br>
I didn't test it right away because I thought the current linux server
was patched against those buffer type problems at this point and it was
old info. If Steve went back to 1.51, I had better check it
out.<br><br>
Problem is 1.51 is required for most competition ladders, and there are
ways a user can get around you disabling their console ability.
<br><br>
The one I am looking at is Linux server specific. No patch on
this??? My, my it is a'<br>
conditional check, where most code problems exist... boundary
checking,..<br><br>
Wonder if we saw the last patch due to the fact that everyone is busy
with COD II.<br>
Ryan has coded a bunch of Linux engine servers these days. Only so
much of him<br>
to go around. I just wonder if it had been found earlier, I bet it
would have been<br>
patched in 1.51b, as this does not seem like a complex fix at all
compared<br>
to some of the code changes for the map traversal.... Man, do I remember
that<br>
time like it was yesterday. <br><br>
