TITLE:
Alien Arena "M_AddToServerList()" Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37118

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37118/

DESCRIPTION:
Jason Geffner has reported a vulnerability in Alien Arena, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the
"M_AddToServerList()" function in client/menu.c. This can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially
crafted UDP packet sent to port 27901.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in version 7.30. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 7.31 or later.
