Title: Dopewars Server Logging Format String Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Dopewars is a freely available video game for Windows and UNIX platforms.
Dopewars is prone to a format string vulnerability. This issue may be exploited when the server component is run as a Windows service. Therefore, this issue is only known to affect Windows versions of the software.
This issue reportedly exists in the logging facilities of the server. A remote user could submit data to the service that includes format specifiers that will be interpreted by a formatted printing function. Format string vulnerabilities typically allow for arbitrary locations in memory to be overwritten with attacker-supplied data. This could permit an attacker to influence execution flow of the program by overwriting program control variables.
Successful exploitation may allow for execution of arbitrary code in the context of the server.
