CVE-2018-18541
A remote attacker could send connection packets from a spoofed IP address and occupy all server slots, or even use them for a reflection attack using map download packets.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.94%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
In Teeworlds before 0.6.5, connection packets could be forged. There was no challenge-response involved in the connection build up. A remote attacker could send connection packets from a spoofed IP address and occupy all server slots, or even use them for a reflection attack using map download packets.
