Well guys, it seems we have some idiots using an exploit to crash our servers. If your server keeps crashing with the error message
ERROR: Info_SetValueForKey: oversize infostring
then your server is being attacked as well.
IP of that idiot: 84.149.231.52 (p5495E734.dip.t-dialin.net)
What can you do?
Wait until id software releases a new point release or download and apply this fix.

Or block them with a firewall:
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p udp -m mport --dports 27960 -m string --string "\xff\xff\xff\xffgetstatus" -m length --length 50:inf -j DROP
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p udp -m mport --dports 27960 -m string --string "\xff\xff\xff\xffgetinfo" -m length --length 50:inf -j DROP
Thanks easy I added the ip to the ban list how exaclty is he crashing the servers without rcon?
He can crash servers with an old school packet dump...similiar to crashing/booting yahoo, msn, & other chat clients but on a larger scale.
Send enough packets and you can crash a network or even restart the victims' computer.
Purest evil... :twisted:
I used neotrace of this IP, located in Nürnberg.
man what a dick head
INFO
84.149.231.52 (p5495E734.dip.t-dialin.net)

So this is basically a DOS attack?
oh so he is just changing his packets to a higher amount which crashes the server? oh i got it now if thats what it is.

Not sure if that is what he is doing, but this is one possibility.

Hmmm why he want to crash servers for this nice MOD
Exploit slip, dont need rcon just a crafty codeman : /
