WHERE:

DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has reported two vulnerabilities in Mtp Target, which
can be exploited to malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service) or compromise a user's system.

1) A format string error in the client code when displaying messages
from other users can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on a
user's system by sending a specially crafted message containing
format specifiers.

2) A signedness error in the server code can be exploited by a client
to crash the game via a specially crafted parameter.

SOLUTION:
Host and play games on trusted networks only.
