Description

A remote overflow exists in CrossFire. CrossFire fails to properly handle boundary conditions within the SetUp() function in "request.c" when handling malicious content received in the "setup" command resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
