Epic Games Unreal Engine Multiple Players Denial Of Service Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been reported for several games using some versions of the Unreal Engine.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a packet to the game server asking to join. This will cause the game server to add the attacker as a player. Several such join requests will cause the game server to add all requests as players. As servers contain a set limit on the maximum number of players, server resources will be exhausted, and legitimate players will not be allowed to join the game.
