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


Tincat is a network library for games and has been developed by the
german guys of Instance Four (http://www.instancefour.com).
It is used in some games like the recents and well known Sacred
(http://www.sacred-game.com) and The Settlers: Heritage of Kings
(http://www.thesettlers.com).

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


The library is affected by a buffer-overflow in the function that logs
the players entered in the server letting an attacker to execute
malicious code on the victim system.

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


The library has been patched from build 28 (2.0.28).

Actually "The Settlers: Heritage of Kings" 1.03 is the only game that
uses the new patched library.
