This can be exploited to block Soldat when it runs in dedicated server mode. NOTE: The vulnerability reportedly also affects Soldat running as a non-dedicated server. 2) A boundary error exists when displaying messages in Soldat clients. This can be exploited to crash Soldat clients by sending an overly string to the Soldat server's file transfer port, or by sending an overly long internal chat message. The vulnerabilities are reported in Soldat 1.4.2. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Use Soldat as a multiplayer server only in a trusted network environment.
