| Subject: | [Full-disclosure] Counter-Strike bug in name command? |
|---|---|
| Date: | Tue, 26 Apr 2005 17:23:42 -0400 |
I ran into a problem yesterday and now request the assistance of others to verify or test for the bug, in case it affects more than my setup. I am running the latest Counter-Strike through Steam under Linux by using Cedega 4.3-1. I am hoping that someone one Windows or Linux can verify or shoot down this bug. So basically, if I try to rename myself within the console using the following string (without quotes) -- the client process will hang "name . ." This is not much of a security vulnerability for server admins in general, but could be used by malicious admins to lock up the processes of connecting gamers. Just try making your name a "." followed by many consecutive spaces, and then end it with another "." I can't tell if this is a problem in the way that CS now tries to eliminate whitespace in player names, but it does crash my client. Any feedback would be appreciated if this command crashes your client... -- Kristian Hermansen <khermansen@ht-technology.com> _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
