Scorched 3D is a game based loosely on the classic DOS game "Scorched
|
|
Earth". Scorched 3D adds amongst other new features a 3D island
|
|
environment and LAN and internet play. Scorched 3D is totally free and is
|
|
available for multiple operating systems.

|
|
Scorched 3D (build 36.2 and before) does not properly check the text
|
|
entered in the Chat box (T key). Using format string characters, you can
|
|
generate a heap overflow. This and several other unchecked buffers have
|
|
been corrected in the build 37 release.

execute arbitrary code on the server with the rights of the user running
|
|
the server.
