TITLE:
Conquest "metaGetServerList()" and "processPacket()" Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24370

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24370/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Conquest 8.x
http://secunia.com/product/13613/

DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has reported some vulnerabilities in Conquest, which
can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1)  A boundary error within the "metaGetServerList()" function in
meta.c can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by
e.g. tricking a user into connecting to a malicious metaserver.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

2) An error within the "processPacket()" function in client.c when
processing "SP_CLIENTSTAT" packets can be exploited to cause memory
corruption.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 8.2a. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
The vulnerabilities are fixed in the SVN repository.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
