What is CVE-2007-4638?

Blizzard Entertainment's StarCraft Brood War versions up to 1.15.1 contain a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service. This can be achieved by exploiting a flaw in how the game processes minimap previews for malformed maps, leading to an out-of-bounds read that results in an application crash. Users are advised to update to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
