While going through linux server code I found a function what allows players to execute any console command on the server. For example every player can kick every other player on the server, players can send host message, players can shutdown the server and so on.

I made the patch for linux RH7 & RH8 and Windows dedicated server. Patching the windows game client isn't possible since RenGuard would disallow the change. I compiled the linux binary under SuSE 9.2 - hope it works.

Remember: You should make a backup of your renegade binary before patching.
To use the patch use "./rr_patch01 <your binary>"
Using the patch again will remove the changes.

Linux patcher: http://www.icefinch.net/rr/rr_patch01
Windows patcher: http://www.icefinch.net/rr/rr_patch01.exe


If you experience crashes after patching (which shouldn't happen) please report me your FDS version and the address where the crash occurred.


Greets,
TimeFX



IMPORTANT NOTE:
RenGuard 1.03 does NOT protect you from this exploit.

**EDIT**
This patch is CP1 compatible.

RH8: successfully tested
RH7: no feedback
WIN: no feedback

Nice Catch! Looks like a good fix to stick in SSCP2. (once it gets some testing, of course)

If you have trouble running BIATCH on your FDS, have some questions about a BIATCH message or log entry, or think that BIATCH spit out a false positive, PLEASE contact the BlackIntel coding team and avoid wasting the time of others.

Thanks Smile

The exploit works in both directions, so server admins could execute console commands at the player's win client.
So they should fix that in client CP too Wink

But why waiting for SSCP2?


PS: Westwood sucks for adding this 'feature'...

Good job !

When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

Well it just so happens that scripts.dll/bhs.dll 2.1.3 (which will be out as soon as I fix a few things)
will disable these network events on both the client and the server (and a few others too)
