Summary
UFO: Alien Invasion versions up to and including 2.2.1 contain a buffer overflow vulnerability in its built-in IRC client component. When the client connects to an IRC server and receives a crafted numeric reply (specifically a 001 message), the application fails to properly validate the length of the response string. This results in a stack-based buffer overflow, which may corrupt control flow structures and allow arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability is triggered during automatic IRC connection handling and does not require user interaction beyond launching the game.

"value": "Las versiones de UFO: Alien Invasion hasta la 2.2.1 (incluida) contienen una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de b\u00fafer en su componente cliente IRC integrado. Cuando el cliente se conecta a un servidor IRC y recibe una respuesta num\u00e9rica manipulada (en concreto, un mensaje 001), la aplicaci\u00f3n no valida correctamente la longitud de la cadena de respuesta. Esto provoca un desbordamiento de b\u00fafer basado en la pila, que puede corromper las estructuras de flujo de control y permitir la ejecuci\u00f3n de c\u00f3digo arbitrario. La vulnerabilidad se activa durante la gesti\u00f3n autom\u00e1tica de la conexi\u00f3n IRC y no requiere la interacci\u00f3n del usuario m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de iniciar el juego."
