| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
AMX Mod X version 1.76d
Description
The issue is related to an off-by-one error in the GeoIP module, which could potentially allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service. This occurs via unspecified input related to geolocation, triggering an error message from either the
geoip code2 or geoip code3 function, leading to a buffer overflow.Recommendations
For AMX Mod X version 1.76d, consider disabling the GeoIP module as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the
geoip code2 and geoip code3 functions to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.Fix
