Quake 3 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Quake 3 is prone to vulnerabilities that may allow attackers to access and steal privileged data. These issues are due to a design error and to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit these issues to overwrite other game player files with arbitrary data and to gain access to potentially sensitive information. This will result in a loss of data and possibly a loss of confidentiality.
