Buffer overflow in socket/request.c in CrossFire before 1.9.0, when oldsocketmode is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) and possibly execute code by sending the server a large request.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
