  <title>Unreal Tournament 2003/2004: Buffer overflow in 'secure' queries</title>
  <synopsis>
    Game servers based on the Unreal engine are vulnerable to remote code
    execution through malformed 'secure' queries.

    <p>
    Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004 are popular first-person-shooter games.
    They are both based on the Unreal engine, and can be used in a game server
    / client setup.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    The Unreal-based game servers support a specific type of query called
    'secure'. Part of the Gamespy protocol, this query is used to ask if the
    game server is able to calculate an exact response using a provided string.
    Luigi Auriemma found that sending a long 'secure' query triggers a buffer
    overflow in the game server.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    By sending a malicious UDP-based 'secure' query, an attacker could execute
    arbitrary code on the game server.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    Users can avoid this vulnerability by not using Unreal Tournament to host
    games as a server. All users running a server should upgrade to the latest
    versions.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Unreal Tournament users should upgrade to the latest available
    versions:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync

    # emerge -pv "&gt;=games-fps/ut2003-2225-r3"
    # emerge "&gt;=games-fps/ut2003-2225-r3"

    # emerge -pv "&gt;=games-server/ut2003-ded-2225-r2"
