Description Jan Lieskovsky 2012-03-26 13:02:20 UTC

A distributed denial of service flaw was found in the way Quake3 Arena / OpenArena servers used to handle 'getstatus' and 'rcon' (remote command) connectionless requests. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform distributed denial of service attack against the target server IP gameserver by spoofing certain packets.
