Title: Skulltag Remote Format String Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:


Skulltag is a Doom engine for the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Skulltag is reported prone to a remote format-string vulnerability. A client can supply a specially crafted version string containing format specifiers to execute malicious code.

As a result of this issue, malicious data containing format specifiers may be interpreted literally by the application, which may cause attacker-specified memory to be disclosed or corrupted, leading to arbitrary code execution.

A successful exploit could cause the application to fail or arbitrary code to run in the context of the application.

Affected Products:

  • Skulltag Skulltag 0.96f
