===============
1) Introduction
===============

Skulltag is a well known and played Doom engine mainly based on Zdoom
(but not open source as it) and focused on online gaming.

#######################################################################

======
2) Bug
======

The game is vulnerable to a heap overflow located in the function which
performs the huffman decompression of the incoming packets, allowing
possible malicious code execution through a single UDP packet.

3) The Code

======
4) Fix
======

No fix.
Developers have not been contacted since one year ago the format string
vulnerability I reported to them was handled as a normal bug and the
patch was released some months after my advisory.
