Medium

Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenTTD versions prior to 0.6.2

Description The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the src/openttd.cpp file, which can be triggered by supplying a large filename via the "-g" parameter in the ttd main function. This could potentially allow local users to execute arbitrary code. However, it is noted that this issue is unlikely to cross privilege boundaries in typical environments.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.6.2, update to version 0.6.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the "-g" parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
