Re: [hlds_linux] 'Linux Server Engine' version 28 SEGV!
Servers were running fine, even running the latest 3327 server build. After shutting down the server and starting it again, it keeps giving segfaults. Things I've tried: apt-get update, dist-upgrade the box. gamedll_linux "dlls/cs_i386.so" to disable all plugins Still keeps crashing. Tested on both Debian testing and Debian unstable. Both servers are on Pentium 4's, the Debian Unstable is one with Hyperthreading enabled. The Debian testing is an old Pentium 4 1.6 Northwood without Hyperthreading.

Re: [hlds_linux] qstat
I thought Qstat used the same way of getting information as HLSW and the Steam Server browser. So I don't think that's the cause of the ping spikes :) kama wrote: Have anyone got any problems with qstat choking the server? I have a script that query the servers every now and then. And every now and then the servers chokes for a while. its just a spike, but everyone notice it.

Re: [hlds_linux] [Full-Disclosure] Remote crash of Half-Life servers and clients (versions before the 07 July 2004) (fwd)

Thanks for the heads up Dominic wrote: This has just been posted to several security related mailing-lists, and I thought it might be of interest to this list.

Kind regards, Dominic -- Forwarded message -- Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2004 18:54:00 + From: Luigi Auriemma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Full-Disclosure] Remote crash of Half-Life servers and clients (versions before the 07 July 2004) ### Luigi Auriemma Application: Half-Life engine http://half-life.sierra.com http://www.steampowered.com Versions: before the 07 July 2004 (both Steam and not-Steam) Platforms:Windows and Linux Bug: writing on a read-only memory zone causing crash Risk: high Exploitation: remote, versus server and client Date: 12 July 2004 Bug found by: Terry Henning (aka Soul Beaver) Advisory: Luigi Auriemma e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web:http://aluigi.altervista.org ### 1) Introduction 2) Bug 3) The Code 4) Fix ### === 1) Introduction === Half-Life is the most famous FPS game existent, no doubts. It has been developed by Valve (http://www.valvesoftware.com) and has been released in the far 1998, but also after all this time it continues to be the most played game with its MODs like Counter-Strike, Natural selection, Sven-coop and many others. Everyday there are about 37.000 servers online! As already specified in the header of this advisory I want to underline that this bug has been found by Terry Henning. ### == 2) Bug == The problem is a crash of the game (both servers and clients are vulnerables) caused by a malformed packet. Each Half-Life packet is composed by the first 8 bytes used to track packets and to reassemble splitted data, just this second feature is the cause of the crash because the game doesn't correctly manage the empty splitted packets (so composed by the first 8 bytes only). The crash is the effect of the copying of data to a read-only part of memory (.reloc of swds.dll). An example of malicious packet is the following: "\xFE\xFF\xFF\xFF\x00\x00\x00\x00" Naturally spoofing is possible. ### === 3) The Code === http://aluigi.altervista.org/poc/hlboom.zip ### == 4) Fix == If you use Steam you are already patched by some days. To note that Half-Life is now supported ONLY via Steam, the half hated or loved content management system of Valve. The latest non-Steam patch is stopped at the 1.1.1.0 (affected by other worst bugs) and is no longer supported. ### --- Luigi Auriemma http://aluigi.altervista.org ___ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.

Re: [hlds_linux] Server.cfg - TWEAKS- Opinions
Remember that the scoreboard ping times and the net_graph ping times are only accurate when the client uses the standard updaterate. So they might show up lower than they actually are. For example: When I set my updaterate to 51, my net_graph ping is <10ms. Which is impossible since a DOS ping to the server already takes 11 ms. When I set the updaterate to 20, the net_graph ping is a bit higher, but more likely to be accurate. So the higher you set your updaterate, the lower the ping appears to be in the scoreboard and net_graph 3. When your server runs at lower fps and lower maxupdaterate, you are doing this to your clients, so their pings appear to be higher. Mike wrote: Odd. Just doing it to a pub really quick... There are a few people pinging in the 20s, alot in the 30s. Doing a quick sys_ticrate 50 and doing another status, I see 1 person in the 40s and a bunch in the 50s. I tried this several times. Normal FPS is around 100-200, HZ 600 ticrate 200. I agree 50FPS runs well, but it seems we'd have to make a choice between ping and choke... - Original Message - From: "Arie M" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 2:34 PM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Server.cfg - TWEAKS- Opinions No not at all.

[hlds_linux] Another, Thank you Valve for bringing us Steam - thread
Thank you Valve, for introducing Steam to us. All day I needed to log out and log back into Steam in order for it to work. If I didn't follow this stupid routine I would get an obscure error message, indicating that my User Id Ticket had expired. At the moment, I can't play AT ALL. I get the usual User ID Ticket expired error, but this time, I can't LOG OUT OF STEAM! I press the Log Out button, Steam.exe gets 90% CPU time of my P4 1,6Ghz and just hangs at that. No way to log out, no way to log in, no way to play Great idea to destroy a perfectly working system (WON) and replace it with this buggy piece of shit. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
