Cube: Multiple vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200603-10 (Cube: Multiple vulnerabilities) Luigi Auriemma reported that Cube is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the sgetstr() function (CVE-2006-1100) and that the sgetstr() and getint() functions fail to verify the length of the supplied argument, possibly leading to the access of invalid memory regions (CVE-2006-1101). Furthermore, he discovered that a client crashes when asked to load specially crafted mapnames (CVE-2006-1102). Impact A remote attacker could exploit the buffer overflow to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running cube. A possible hacker could also exploit the other vulnerabilities to crash a Cube client or server, resulting in a Denial of Service. Workaround Play solo games or restrict your multiplayer games to trusted parties.
