World in Conflict NULL Pointer Crash
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
The World in Conflict server is vulneable to a Denial of Service attack
(crash) caused by the access to a NULL pointer. The problem happens in the
GetMagicNumberString function which takes the third byte of the data
received from the client on the VOIP port 52999 and returns a text string
if this value is valid ("ABC" for type 0, "DEF" for 1, "GHI" for 2 and so
on) or NULL if it's invalid. Then the string returned by this function is
compared with another one and here happens the NULL pointer access.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* World in Conflict version 1.000 and prior
Immune Systems:
* World in Conflict version 1.00
Exploit:
Connect to the VOIP port of the server (default 52999) with telnet or
netcat and type something like aaaaaaa. The server will crash immediately.
