Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Firefly Studios Stronghold 2 versions 1.2 and earlier
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a crash. This is achieved by sending a packet with a large size value for the
nickname, which leads to a memory allocation failure and generates an exception.Recommendations
For versions 1.2 and earlier, consider restricting or validating the size of the
nickname value in incoming packets to prevent memory allocation failures until a patch is available.Exploit
