EXPLOIT

GTA San Andreas Multiplayer (SA-MP) server version 0.3.1.1 is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow triggered by parsing a malformed server.cfg configuration file. The vulnerability allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code when the server binary (samp-server.exe) processes a crafted echo directive containing excessive input. The original 'sa-mp.com' site is defunct, but the community maintains mirrors and forks that may be vulnerable.

• → Monitor for execution of samp-server.exe where the accompanying server.cfg contains an oversized or malformed 'echo' directive — this is the specific trigger for the stack-based buffer overflow. ↗
• → Flag delivery of server.cfg files via email, file transfer, or download alongside samp-server.exe, as the attack vector requires the victim to receive and run both files together. ↗
• → Inspect server.cfg files for abnormally long 'echo' directive values; legitimate echo directives are short, and excessive input in this field is the direct overflow trigger. ↗

• · This is a local/file-format attack — exploitation requires the victim to manually run samp-server.exe with the malicious server.cfg present; it is not remotely exploitable over the network. ↗
• · The affected version is specifically SA-MP 0.3.1.1; community mirrors and forks may also carry the vulnerable binary, so version pinning alone is insufficient for full coverage. ↗
