Description
Buffer overflow in the HuffDecode function in hw_utils/hwrcon/huffman.c and hexenworld/Client/huffman.c in Hammer of Thyrion 1.4.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a crafted huffman encoded packet. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
