Title: Batalla Naval Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Batalla Naval is graphical naval battle game that can be played over a network. It is available for Unix/Linux variants and Microsoft Windows operating systems.

Batalla Naval is prone to a remotely exploitable buffer overflow when handling requests of excessive length. In particular, sending a string to the game server (gbnserver) that is 500 or more bytes in length may cause stack memory to be corrupted. This could allow for execution of malicious instructions in the context of the game server.

The game server listens on port 1995 by default.

Affected Products:

  • Batalla Naval Batalla Naval 1.0.0 4
