TITLE:
Doom 3 Engine Format String Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA27002

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/27002/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
DOOM 3 Version 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/5843/

DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in Doom 3, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or
potentially to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error in the Doom
3 engine when displaying certain PunkBuster packets in the game
console. This can be exploited via specially crafted "PB_Y" or "PB_U"
packets sent to the server.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code but
requires that PunkBuster is active on the server.

SOLUTION:
Host games only in a trusted network environment.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
