ID Software Quake 3 engine path traversal

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.

Summaryinfo

A vulnerability marked as problematic has been reported in ID Software Quake 3 engine. This affects an unknown part. Performing a manipulation results in path traversal. This vulnerability was named CVE-2006-2082. There is no available exploit.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in ID Software Quake 3 engine (the affected version is unknown). This affects an unknown code. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in Quake 3 engine, as used in products including Quake3 Arena, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, and Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, when the sv_allowdownload cvar is enabled, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the server via ".." sequences in a .pk3 file request.

The weakness was presented 05/09/2006 by Ludwig Nussel (Website). The advisory is shared at securityfocus.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2006-2082 since 04/28/2006. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.

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 (26347) and SecurityFocus (BID 17924†). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
