Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2004-03-18 05:00 – Updated: 2024-08-08 00:10
VLAI
Summary
Ratbag game engine, as used in products such as Dirt Track Racing, Leadfoot, and World of Outlaws Spring Cars, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a TCP packet that specifies the length of data to read and then sends a second TCP packet that contains less data than specified, which causes Ratbag to repeatedly check the socket for more data.
Severity
