DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in various Command &
Conquer games, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
the Gamespy "NATHOST" and "NATINITED" commands, which can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by joining a room on
the peerchat server and sending specially crafted commands.
The vulnerability is reported in the following games and versions:
Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath version 1.02
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars version 1.09
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 version 1.12
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 Uprising version 1.00
Other games and versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Do not play or host online games. Do not join the peerchat server.
