DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in multiple games, which
can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
handling of secure Gamespy queries. This can be exploited to cause a
buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted, overly long query to
the server.

Successful exploitation may potentially allow execution of arbitrary
code on the game server.

The vulnerability has been reported in the following products:
- Alien versus Predator 2, version 1.0.9.6.
- Blood 2, version 2.1.
- No one lives forever, version 1.004.
- Shogo, version 2.2.

Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Grant only trusted clients access to matches on vulnerable game
servers.
