Most do not even host servers with iw3mp.exe anyway. However CoD4 has another RCE vulnerability which is also not fixed in the latest patch Activision released. 3 months) So for CoD4 this patch is actually useless but it is now done anyway in a rushed action as you can see. On CoDMW2 however this buffer was stack allocated (What I know about only for ca. As it is impossible to pass any arguments on this way and it can work only when you run a listenserver (snd_list is a client command), and the attacker needs rcon execute the command, this is very unrealistic to do any damage ever. What can happen by overflowing it?Ī function pointer of the command 'snd_list' can be overwritten. Binary analysing told me that overflowing that heap allocated buffer has no critical effect and so it can not be exploited. Because CoD4 allocates a static heap buffer which can be overflowed. I for my self know about this issue for about 5 years. However in CoD4 this vulnerability is hardly possible to exploit at all. I am not going to rate it here.) Edit: Although the affected function 'MSG_ReadBitsCompress()' got a size parameter in CoD: BlackOps this parameter is actually ignored for the Huffman decompression. In BlackOps this vulnerability was purposefully patched by Treyarch but future CoD version developed by InfinityWards kept having that vulnerability. When was the vulnerability first time discovered? Well Treyarch has discovered this RCE vulnerability already within the development cycle of 'CoD: BlackOps' (I did not check CoD:WaW) which got relased in year 2010. Edited May 3 by leiizko.ĭetails about the vulnerability, its sense etc. It just does not activate in case the 'iw3mp.exe' file gets replaced. A reinstallation of CoD4X shall not be necessary as it remains installed even after the Steam update. Now go to your before downloaded file then drag and drop it into your Cod4 folder. Right click onto it and chose 'Delete' and confirm it.

Since you have now your CoD4 folder locate the file iw3mp.exe. In the new window click on 'Local Files' and then 'Browse Local Files'. Rightclick the game and choose properties. Find in the left list 'Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare'. Just in case you didn't find your CoD4 folder here is another way: Open the Steam main window, then click Library, Games. Go to your 'Steam' folder (Which is likely in 'C: Program Files(X86)') then click on 'steamapps' then 'common' and then 'Call of Duty 4'. If you know where you Steam folder is you can find it on this way: Open a new Windows Explorer Window. When done locate your CoD4 installation, there are 2 ways to find it. Here is how to fix this patch: Download the file from this site here: This is the main and original game executable from CoD4 1.7. This update was kinda breaking the game completely.
