It has been reported that Freespace 2 game client may be prone to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability that could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in a vulnerable system in order to gain unauthorized access. It has been reported that this vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a server name of 180 characters or more to a vulnerable client. When the client reads in the string, sensitive regions of memory may be corrupted with attacker-supplied values. Freespace 2 versions 1.20 and prior are reported to be affected by this issue.
