A new Denial of Service attack on the Win32 version of the QuakeWorld servers was reported on Bugtraq. Yes once again Microsoft proves just how well written winsock really is. Not to go into details but the new exploit will crash a Win32 QW server remotely. DrSplat[GT] of WaterHack patch fame has written a patch for Win32 QW servers that should tide us over until Zoid releases an official fix.

Oh BTW, the Linux version of the QW server is not exploitable. Maybe its time to start thinking about moving that clan QW server to Linux. :-)
