[mohaa] "Spawn Hack" and server crashes

[Perry Heath]

Hi Shockwave,
 
As a supplier of game servers (www.fragserv.co.uk) I am worried about a
new cheat that has come to light. As we use Linux servers you seemed to
be the right person 2 ask.
 
Its a wallhack lets u see right through walls! its in a .pk3 format is
there anyway the server could see if someone is using this and kick
them?
 
Regards

Hello again,
 
It seems that there is now a fix out for this problem.  Here are the
links to the news item and the file itself:

The people involved in producing this patch still haven't responded to
my request for information about how this exploit works which is
disappointing.  If anyone has any more information about this, I think
it would be a good idea to discuss it further.  The idea of compiling a
new fgameded.so file from a Windows installation using an unofficial
patch program in order to fix an unexplained server exploit makes me a
bit uneasy.  Maybe it's just me.
