Solution

Unknown

Description

HaloCON versions 2.0.0.81 and earlier are vulnerable to a denial of service attack. By sending a specially-crafted UDP packet to port 2305, a remote attacker could terminate HaloCON server's socket.

Classification

Location: Remote/Network Access Required
Attack Type: Denial of Service
Impact: Loss of Availability
Exploit: Exploit Available
Disclosure: OSVDB Verified

Solution

No patch is available yet as of writing this text.
Possible solution at the moment is to host games on a trusted network only.
