Title: Liquid War HOME Environment Variable Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Liquid War is multiplayer computer game available for multiple platforms.
Liquid War has been reported prone to a buffer overflow condition when handling HOME environment variables of excessive length.
The issue presents itself, due to a lack of sufficient boundary checks performed on data contained in the HOME environment variable before it is copied into a reserved buffer in stack based memory. Data that exceeds the size of the affected buffer may overrun its bounds and corrupt adjacent memory. It has been reported that a local attacker may exploit this condition to execute arbitrary instructions with GID Games privileges.
It should be noted that although this vulnerability has been reported to affect Liquid War version 5.4.5 other versions might also be affected.
Affected Products:
- U-Foot Liquid War 5.4.5
- U-Foot Liquid War 5.5.6
