Stack-based buffer overflow in the M_AddToServerList function in client/menu.c in Red Planet Arena Alien Arena 7.30 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a packet with a crafted server description to UDP port 27901 followed by a packet with a long print command.
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.
