DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Sauerbraten Game Engine, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error within
the "TEXTCOMMAND()" macro (src/engine/textedit.h) when parsing map
files and can be exploited to manipulate arbitrary files via a
malicious map.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but
requires tricking a user into importing a malicious map or connecting
to a malicious server.
The vulnerability is reported in version 2010_07_28. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Fixed in the SVN repository.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
