CVE-2006-4005
CVSS v2.0
5.0
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
BomberClone versions 0.11.6 and earlier
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a daemon crash. This can be achieved through two methods: (1) sending a certain malformed PKGF ackreq packet, which triggers a crash in the
rscache add() function in pkgcache.c; and (2) sending an error packet intended for clients, which instead also triggers server shutdown.Recommendations
For BomberClone versions 0.11.6 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
rscache add() function in pkgcache.c to prevent crashes from malformed PKGF ackreq packets. Additionally, restrict the handling of error packets to prevent unintended server shutdowns. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.Exploit
