OpenTTD 0.6.0 through 1.2.1 does not properly validate requests to clear a water tile, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and server crash) via a certain sequence of steps related to "the water/coast aspect of tiles which also have railtracks on one half."

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-3436 is a remote crash issue in older OpenTTD versions. A malformed sequence involving water or coast tiles with rail tracks can trigger a NULL pointer dereference and crash a server. The business impact is availability disruption, mainly for organizations still running legacy OpenTTD multiplayer infrastructure. Exposure is limited to environments running OpenTTD 0.6.0 through 1.2.1, especially reachable multiplayer servers. The source bundle does not identify broader products or CPEs. Prioritize if legacy OpenTTD servers are internet-facing or support a public community. Otherwise, handle through legacy software cleanup and standard patch governance. Mitigation focus: Inventory OpenTTD deployments and identify versions 0.6.0 through 1.2.1.; Review the OpenTTD advisory and referenced distribution advisories for corrected packages or patches.; Apply updates only from trusted OpenTTD or operating system distribution channels..
