Buffer overflow in the TruncateString function in src/gfx.cpp in OpenTTD before 0.6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted string. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
