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


Skulltag is a port of the original Doom mainly focused on multiplayer
gaming.

2) Bug
======


Skulltag is affected by a problem in the parsing of some packets with
the result of freezing the entine server for some seconds through the
sending of a single big malformed packet which is parsed multiple
times.
This Denial of Service can be made endless using multiple malformed
packets at regular intervals.
