sv_allowupload/download safe again?

(1/3) > >>

Bryantdl7:
Since the epic vin'll fix it hack I have sv_allowupload 0 and sv_allowdownload 0. the one problem im noticing is sprays dont like to show with those settings set up. Are they still major security risks?

MrPresident:
This was patched pretty quickly. You should be safe to enable them again.

JamminR:
I'm of the opinion though that, since I've seen at least 5 exploits due to those functions in the past 10 years, if sprays is all you want them for, it's not worth the risk of some yet unknown to use malicious use of them.
But, I'm a paranoid IT geek.

MrPresident:
This is exactly why those vars are still disabled in my server. They were disabled before the exploit as well, which is why we were also unaffected.

Avoid:
Hello,
I think this exploit should get fixed with the next update, until then use this library found: here


--- Code: ---Sprays Fix
Description: I've released it before but I'll do it again, this prevents the sweg hackers from exploiting sv_allowupload/sv_allowdownload. Pretty much you can safely enable sprays with this.
--- End code ---

Hope this helps,
Avoid :)
