Title: Valve Software Half-Life CSTRIKE Server Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

Half-Life is a game distributed and maintained by Valve Software. It includes a dedicated game-server component that allows multiple users to game across a network. The game engine is used in many modifications.

Affected Products:

  • Valve Software CSTRIKE Dedicated Server 1.6.0 Linux
  • Valve Software CSTRIKE Dedicated Server 1.6.0 Windows
