Py2Play is a peer-to-peer network game engine written in Python.
|
|
Pickling is a Python feature allowing to serialize Python objects into
|
|
string representations (called pickles) that can be sent over the
|
|
network.

<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Arc Riley discovered that Py2Play uses Python pickles to send objects
|
|
over a peer-to-peer game network, and that clients accept without
|
|
restriction the objects and code sent by peers.

<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker participating in a Py2Play-powered game can send
|
|
malicious Python pickles, resulting in the execution of arbitrary
|
|
Python code on the targeted game client.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All py2play users should upgrade to the latest version:

<code>
|

# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-python/py2play-0.1.8"</code>
