CVSS v3.1

Official Description

The Unreal Engine, as used in DeusEx 1.112fm and earlier, Devastation 390 and earlier, Mobile Forces 20000 and earlier, Nerf Arena Blast 1.2 and earlier, Postal 2 1337 and earlier, Rune 107 and earlier, Tactical Ops 3.4.0 and earlier, Unreal 1 226f and earlier, Unreal II XMP 7710 and earlier, Unreal Tournament 451b and earlier, Unreal Tournament 2003 2225 and earlier, Unreal Tournament 2004 before 3236, Wheel of Time 333b and earlier, and X-com Enforcer, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a UDP packet containing a secure query with a long value, which overwrites memory.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2004-0608 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2004-0608. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
