Server crash via team-command allocation exhaustion
Published Feb 20, 2023 · Updated Aug 5, 2024
Denial of service in RTCWCoop 1.0.2 allows remote attackers to crash a game server by repeatedly sending the team command. The team-change path invokes AI script loading and parsing, which allocate persistent data from the limited G_Alloc pool without reclaiming it. Exploitation requires network access to join a game and issue repeated team changes; pool exhaustion triggers allocation failure and server shutdown.
