Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Game Network Engine (GNE) versions 0.70 and earlier

Description The issue is related to a format string vulnerability in the flush output function in ConsoleStreambuf.cpp. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute code via format string specifiers in unspecified vectors involving output to the gout console.

Recommendations For Game Network Engine (GNE) versions 0.70 and earlier, consider restricting or disabling the use of the flush output function in ConsoleStreambuf.cpp until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using format string specifiers in output to the gout console to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
