DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in Beats of Rage (BOR)
Engine, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error within the
"shutdown()", "predrawstatus()", and "update()" functions. This can
potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code via a specially
crafted mod file.

Successful exploitation requires that the user is e.g. tricked into
opening a malicious mod file.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.0029. Prior versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open mod files from untrusted sources.
