SecretChord Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 I heard from a friend that it's possible to crash a server by spamming /say or something, I also heard that there's a fix for this. If this is indeed a problem that I should be fixing in my mod, would anyone be so kind as to help me out with a fix Thanks.
Griswald Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Most of the bugs found have been posted here with fixes: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=140104 This also includes the /say bug
SecretChord Posted January 1, 2007 Author Posted January 1, 2007 I didn't see it in there, or is it one of the bugs that's not really discussed, instead just a fix given? Is it #3 here: http://www.lucasforums.com/showpost.php?p=2080661&postcount=82
ensiform Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 No, its not. You need length checking in Cmd_Say_f, G_Say, and G_SayTo. the message should not be longer than MAX_SAY_TEXT (150). There's also a bug with trap_SendServerCommand where if text is larger than 1022 it will crash clients.
