Title: Call of Duty Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Call of Duty is a game with network gaming capabilities.
It has been reported that it is possible for a remote attacker to immediately terminate instances of Call of Duty on target systems. This can be accomplished by sending a large (> 1024 bytes) query or response to the target. According to the report, this behavior is the result of security checks (apparently to prevent buffer overflow exploitation attempts) that terminate the game if input is received that is too large.
Both the client and server are affected.
Update: It is reported that an expansion pack for Call of Duty named United Offensive has been released. This expansion pack is also vulnerable to this issue.
Affected Products:
- Activision Call of Duty 1.4.0
- Activision Call of Duty United Offensive 1.41.0
