DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in GGZ Gaming Zone, which
can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the client within the
handling of malformed XML data. This can be exploited to cause
clients to be disconnected from the server e.g. by joining the server
with a nickname that contains the single quote character, with a
nickname that is longer than 16 characters, or via an overly long
text message.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 0.0.12 and prior.

SOLUTION:
Host network games only within trusted networks and do not connect to
non-trusted game servers.
