CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Epic Games Unreal engine 2004. Affected is the function logging of the file images. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

Stack-based buffer overflow in the logging function in the Unreal engine, possibly 2003 and 2004, as used in the internal web server, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a request for a long .gif filename in the images/ directory, related to conversion from Unicode to ASCII.

The weakness was published 08/20/2007 by Luigi Auriemma as not defined posting (Bugtraq). The advisory is available at securityfocus.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2007-4442 since 08/20/2007. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details and a public exploit are known.

The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (36102), Exploit-DB (30513), SecurityFocus (BID 25374†) and Secunia (SA26506†). Similar entry is available at VDB-38431. VulDB is the best source for vulnerability data and more expert information about this specific topic.
