Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in MovePlayerPacket handling when processing serverbound movement packets containing NaN or INF values in position or rotation fields. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted MovePlayerPacket to cause a denial of service.
