Me and a few other people are working on a walk around for this as I do not see bungie patching this, once this is completed there will be a mass mailing of all game server hosts to alert them on how to get around this pathetic, dire, piece of garbage that is having a somewhat big impact.
unfortunately seems that the developers didn't fix completely this vulnerability I reported to them over 3 years ago (wow, the time flies) so was enough to change a number in my old proof-of-concept and the latest 1.07 is vulnerable too:
Naturally also my haloloopfix is affected by the problem since, as stated there, I just used the same function from 1.07.
Differently to the old famous haloboom bug, haloloop has worst effects like the CPU at 100% and the freezing of the server due to an endless loop which makes impossible to autorestart it since there is no termination of the process.
Naturally both Halo and Halo Custom Edition are vulnerables.
For now, private your Halo servers and DO NOT leave server informations in vent, comments or allow people to view your in-game traffic. Be very cautious when playing matches. Lamers using this in my league will release the beast within me..don't be a queer.
