You guy's are too late i reported this before it was released..!
It will be fixed in the next patch just be care full when opening (mpr/spr/ply) file's.
Nah, I don't think you have to worry about it really. I reckon the chances of getting something from this issue is so tiny it's not worth worrying about.
I'll take my chances. I'll watch any replay I want thank you.
A few 12 year old hackers trying to annoy people doesn't scare me.
Omfg you guy's are missing the whole point.There are people who actually open spr and mpr file's on this forum.Just because your not one of them.Any security problem in the softwear is worth fixing any way's im sure the developer's have alot more to contend with than these at the moment.\
And the ply file was thrown in to get fixed while i was at it.Look if your going to post flame's don't bother your actually putting others at risk because they cant get to read it before the mod's close the thread as soon as ego tripper's start to throw there weight about
If you would only read posts more attentively then you would have seen that I'm downloading .mpr file from here and from other sources.
And btw No one is going to post flames here.
I did not even talked to you in my post.
But what you don't get is, that it is not the big deal that you tried to tell the people here in the past.
You got your attention and it will be fixed. That's it.
People like you who's only interest is obviously just to get attention from the community with things like "i reported this before it was released" and the "" icon that should suggest that you know much more about it and about bigger more dangerous flaws etc. Only placed into posts to frighten people "gehn mir echt auf den Sack" (translate it yourself).
And if the thread starter would have read the forum more often then he would have known that it was already said that it will be fixed in the next patch/patches and that the Testpatch forum is only visible when there are testpatches around.
I appreciate the fact you are using capital letters and apostrophies to look clever. The fact you use the apostrophes randomly needs a bit of work though. As does 'haw' (it's 'how').
Has anyone (other than Muhuauauauauauauauaajajajahaw) seen a dodgy mpr/spr/ply file yet? Anyone? ANYBODY? [gets loudspeaker out]ANYONE!!!![/loudspeaker]
Yeah I got sent a dodgy .ply file, installed it and muhaa took over my computer and made it hack into NASA and now I've got black helicopters circling above my house.
So I reformatted and then the phone rang and I answered it and it was muhaa and he hacked into my computer by whistling down the phone line and took it over and made it hack into CBeebies and download Tweenie porn and now I'm going to jail for being a Tweeniephile.
1. Tristan, not Tris
2. words, not word's
3. Mine was a typo, yours is a constant misuse due to ignorance. I cannot take a man seriously who can't use his own language, typos notwithstanding.
Incidentally, I nearly always make a typo disclaimer when discussing this sort of thing, otherwise people try to make false arguments out of them.
I've got a dodgy MPR on my drive right now. A nut repeatedly bashes into me at the same turn, and I tried to submit it to the CTRA but apparantly it was not self explanatory enough. It's quite dodgy.
Though while the majority of the users here are probably intelligent enough not to get fooled by malicious replays, this is really no argument for taking these exploits too lightly. Especially not considering how these replays could very well be distributed via this forum and maybe even LFSW (though, adding a check for the exploit is probably not too hard as it's just a simple buffer overflow) and that they can be easily auto-executed just by a click.
[speculation]
My guess is Scawen is working on fixing these exploits and updating the cheat protection for the currently rampant speed hacks and release both in a update quite soon. The speed hack is probably taking the majority of his coding time right now, considering that buffer overflows should be dead easy to fix. [/speculation]
Ok true
but
as you said it "it's just a simple buffer overflow".
Then it's also no argument to make something that BIG out of it, some try here for quite some time.
You guy's have done it to me in the past so tough shit.I've never pm him at all so i don't understand what give's him the right to talk like that to people.
First of all i didn't make this post and since it involve's me i would like to post here,Simple if you have nothing constructive to say don't post simple as that realy.Instead i could go through all your post where you have flamed people for no reason.Personaly i don't give a shit about this buffer over flow or any other's in the software not once in this post have i ever even mentioned any thing that will big me up for this.Any way im not going to get into an argument with a few kids on the forum easy as that.
