Discussion

Quake 3 Engine Server Information Disclosure Vulnerability

The Quake 3 engine is susceptible to a remote information-disclosure vulnerability. Affected game servers fail to ensure that only appropriate files may be sent to remote users.

This issue allows remote attackers to gain access to the potentially sensitive contents of arbitrary files on the computer hosting vulnerable game servers. This occurs with the privileges of the targeted game server.

This vulnerability reportedly affects the following games:
- Quake 3 Arena
- Return to Castle Wolfenstein
- Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force

Other games may also be affected.
