There is also a failure to correctly handle connection attempts from remote hosts. </p> </description> <impact type="normal"> <p> Using a specially crafted "clientcommand" a remote attacker can cause a buffer overflow in Nexuiz which could result in the execution of arbitrary code. Additionally, there is a Denial of Service vulnerability in Nexuiz allowing an attacker to cause Nexuiz to crash or to run out of resources by overloading it with specially crafted connection requests. </p> </impact> <workaround> <p> There is no known workaround at this time. </p> </workaround> <resolution> <p> All Nexuiz users should upgrade to the latest version: </p> <code> # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=games-fps/nexuiz-2.2.1"</code> </resolution> <references> <uri link="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6609">CVE-2006-6609</uri> <uri link="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6610">CVE-2006-6610</uri> </references> <metadata tag="requester" timestamp="Sat, 10 Feb 2007 22:20:41 +0000"> falco </metadata> <metadata tag="bugReady" timestamp="Sat, 10 Feb 2007 23:53:08 +0000"> falco </metadata> <metadata tag="submitter" timestamp="Thu, 15 Feb 2007 16:20:20 +0000"> hyakuhei </metadata> </glsa>
