<p>
Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004 are popular first-person-shooter games.
They are both based on the Unreal engine, and can be used in a game server
/ client setup.
</p>

<description>
<p>
The Unreal-based game servers support a specific type of query called
'secure'. Part of the Gamespy protocol, this query is used to ask if the
game server is able to calculate an exact response using a provided string.
Luigi Auriemma found that sending a long 'secure' query triggers a buffer
overflow in the game server.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
By sending a malicious UDP-based 'secure' query, an attacker could execute
arbitrary code on the game server.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
Users can avoid this vulnerability by not using Unreal Tournament to host
games as a server. All users running a server should upgrade to the latest
versions.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Unreal Tournament users should upgrade to the latest available
versions:
