  Breed Malfored UDP DoS
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

Breed is "a game developed by  <http://www.brat-designs.com> Brat Designs 
using their Mercury engine". A vulnerability in Breed allows a remote 
attacker to cause the server to crash by sending a malformed packet.

DETAILS

The Breed game server can be easily crashed through the sending of an 
empty UDP packet. In fact if the packet size is equal to zero, the game 
passes a NULL pointer to the function used to parse the packet's content.
