http://secunia.com/advisories/36221/

DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in PunkBuster, which can
be exploited to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially
compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in pbsv.dll. This
can be exploited e.g. via a specially crafted packet to cause a buffer
overflow.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.728. Other versions may
also be affected.

NOTE: The vulnerability is reportedly exploitable via Soldier of
Fortune II with PunkBuster enabled.
