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


Halo is the great FPS game developed by Bungie Studios and ported on PC
by Gearbox Software (http://www.gearboxsoftware.com).
It has been released at the end of 2003.

2) Bug
======


The problem affects the in-game browser of the clients used to navigate
through the list of online servers and is caused by some overrun
protections. If these instructions find a too long value in a server's
reply, they pass a NULL pointer (instead of the original value) to a
wcsncpy() function causing the crash.

This is a broadcast client crash, so a single attacker visible in the
master server list can passively exploit any vulnerable client in the
world.
