Description:
Luigi Auriemma has reported some vulnerabilities in SWAT 4, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) A NULL pointer dereference error can be exploited to cause a crash via a specially crafted "VERIFYCONTENT" or "GAMECONFIG" command sent before joining a server.
2) An error in the processing of the "RS" string in a "GAMESPYRESPONSE" command can be exploited to cause a runtime error via an overly long (greater than 71 bytes) "RS" string.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.1. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Use in trusted network environments only.
