DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has reported two vulnerabilities in Star Wars
Battlefront, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a
DoS (Denial of Service).

1) A boundary error in the handling of nicknames can be exploited to
crash a vulnerable game server by joining with an overly long
nickname.

2) An error in the debug output routine when handling crashed players
can be exploited to crash a vulnerable game server by sending a
specially crafted join request.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.11 and prior.
