===============
1) Introduction
===============
Asura is a game engine written by Rebellion and used in their games.
Rogue Trooper and Prism are the only two games (as far as I know) which
use the new network protocol which leads to the vulnerability reported
in this advisory, the older games were based on DirectPlay (Judge
Dredd) and Gamespy SDK (Sniper Elite).

2) Bug
======
A buffer-overflow vulnerability is located in the function which
handles the 0xf007 packet used for the challenge B query.
In this function the data passed by the client is copied (without
checks on its length) to a stack buffer of 256 bytes used for sending
the data back to the client, something similar to a ping.

4) Fix
======
No fix.
Rebellion is one of those vendors which have never replied to my past
mails.
