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

The vulnerability is due to a boundary error when processing Kaillera
messages. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow
via e.g. an overly long nickname (more than 32 bytes).

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

may also be affected.
