Talk:LMP

This page lacks info on how to play the demo back! I think this would be a logical place to have it.

When we upload demos, the info pages say "Warning: This file may contain malicious code, by executing it your system may be compromised." Why on earth is this necessary? Are there actually any known ways to do this with a LMP? Ryan W 19:22, 3 March 2006 (UTC)


 * No, but the MediaWiki software doesn't know that. 210.50.148.242 03:18, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Although it is highly unlikely given the format used, there's always the possibility that a buffer overrun or similar exploit could exist in an LMP format - here I'm thinking mostly of the more complicated formats used by some of the newer source ports - and that a maliciously crafted demo could execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable source port. Unlikely, but always a possibility. 71.58.109.233 18:50, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmmmm-m, apparently it can be done with a WAD depending on the port; see here under "Format string bugs".   Ryan W 14:04, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
