Grand Theft Auto III/Vice City Skin File v1.1 – Buffer Overflow
Grand Theft Auto III/Vice City Skin File v1.1 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack. This attack can be triggered by running a malicious python script to generate an 'evil.bmp' file, which is then copied to the game's skins folder. When the game is launched and the user navigates to Options > Player Setup and chooses the 'evil' skin, a buffer overflow occurs and calc.exe pops up.
Mitigation:
Ensure that all software is up to date and patched with the latest security updates.
