Remote: Yes
Local: No
Published: Oct 21 2009 12:00AM
Updated: Nov 06 2009 07:26AM

Alien Arena is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

Solution:
Updates are available.
