Armed Assault (aka ArmA) 1.14 and earlier, and 1.16 beta, and Armed Assault II 1.02 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a join packet with a final field whose value is (1) 0, which triggers a server crash related to memory allocation, or (2) 1, which triggers CPU/memory consumption and a NULL pointer dereference.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a denial-of-service issue in older Armed Assault and Armed Assault II game servers. A remote attacker could send a malformed join request that crashes the server or consumes CPU and memory. The sources do not show data theft or code execution, but exposed legacy servers could be knocked offline. Exposure is mainly Internet-reachable legacy ArmA or ArmA II multiplayer servers running the listed versions. Normal corporate environments are unlikely to be affected unless they host these game servers for community, simulation, archival, or lab use. Prioritize this when the organization operates public legacy game or simulation servers. For most enterprises, business urgency is low to moderate because impact is availability-only and limited to niche software, but exposed unsupported servers should be removed or isolated. Mitigation focus: Identify and decommission unsupported affected game server versions.; Check vendor or project guidance for patched server builds.; Restrict server exposure to trusted networks where possible..
