ID Software Quake II Server up to 3.19 authentication spoofing

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.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in ID Software Quake II Server up to 3.19. This affects an unknown code. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a authentication spoofing vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-290. This attack-focused weakness is caused by incorrectly implemented authentication schemes that are subject to spoofing attacks. This is going to have an impact on integrity. The summary by CVE is:

Quake II server before R1Q2, as used in multiple products, allows remote attackers to bypass IP-based access control rules via a userinfo string that already contains an "ip" key/value pair but is also long enough to cause a new key/value pair to be truncated, which interferes with the server s ability to find the client s IP address.

The weakness was published 10/27/2004 by Richard Stanway (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at archives.neohapsis.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2004-2597 since 11/29/2005. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.

Upgrading to version 3.20 eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (17895), SecurityFocus (BID 11551†), OSVDB (11186†), Secunia (SA13013†) and SecurityTracker (ID 1011979†). Similar entries are available at VDB-18656, VDB-23477, VDB-23476 and VDB-23474. Statistical analysis made it clear that VulDB provides the best quality for vulnerability data.
