Exclamation IMPORTANT: Potential Vulnerability

This is for your info. This article was posted and we received a copy. I am passing this on to all so that you can check the files on your computer.

Quote:
Attention all our COD4 clients running mods or custom maps on COD4 servers:

Community members have recently decompiled modifications and maps created by community scripter, mapper, and modder KiLL3r and discovered a number of security flaws including a backdoor allowing users with access the ability to retrieve the RCON password of any server using the map or mod. Staff at InfinityWard.com have removed links to the mod and passwords, citing the potential security flaws.

Read more here: http://www.totalgamingnetwork.com/ma....php?p=2050614

Please check and see if you have the map files for Backlot Night and remove them. The other mods listed should also be checked for if you play on any other server. I will be taking the servers down in a few minutes and check ours.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: IMPORTANT: Potential Vulnerability

The servers are back up and running. No mods listed were found. The map Backlot Night has not been on the server in awhile. It has been removed form the server as well as from the TG download section.

Re: IMPORTANT: Potential Vulnerability

Interesting. Here's the initial thread about the subject at IW, and the following is more information.

EDIT: might want to read the first link soon as Joker said at the end the thread was going to be deleted.
