+ Luigi Auriemma discovered multiple buffer overflows in the
+ D_NetPlayerEvent() function, the Msg_Write() function and the
+ NetSv_ReadCommands() function. He also discovered errors when handling
+ chat messages that are not NULL-terminated (CVE-2007-4642) or contain a
+ short data length, triggering an integer underflow (CVE-2007-4643).
+ Furthermore a format string vulnerability was discovered in the
+ Cl_GetPackets() function when processing PSV_CONSOLE_TEXT messages
+ (CVE-2007-4644).

+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute
+ arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the Doomsday server
+ or cause a Denial of Service by sending specially crafted messages to
+ the server.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ While some of these issues could be resolved in
+ "games-fps/doomsday-1.9.0-beta5.2", the format string vulnerability
+ (CVE-2007-4644) remains unfixed. We recommend that users unmerge
+ Doomsday:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --unmerge games-fps/doomsday</code>
