ijsf Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) NOTE: Server Patch 1 Hotfix includes this workaround by default. You can download Server Patch 1 Hotfix here. You do not need to update to Server Patch 1 Hotfix if you have already applied this workaround. A Linux repackage of Server Patch 1 with this workaround applied will be up soon. Linux server operators: if you have installed the Server using the binary (mta05_server_linux.bin) and not previously applied this workaround, you must apply this hotfix or the workaround described below. !!! CRITICAL: We strongly recommend anyone running a dedicated server to apply the fix below. !!! The guys over at bugtraq discovered a critical bug in the currently released MTA 0.5.x dedicated servers. The bug involves an admin exploit that can be used by a malicious user to gain access to the "Set MOTD" administration command, that is used to modify the MOTD.txt (Message Of The Day) file. The exploit can then be used to crash the dedicated server. The affected platform is Microsoft Windows. The bug still exists on all other platforms, but is currently not exploitable. !!! CRITICAL: We strongly recommend anyone running a dedicated server to apply the fix below. !!! Quick fix To fix this exploit, the "motd.txt" file, located in the server directory, will have to be set to read-only. Deleting motd.txt will NOT fix the problem! Please follow the steps for your server platform. Quick fix :: Microsoft Windows Change the "motd.txt" file attributes to Read-only. 1. Open up Windows Explorer and navigate to your server directory 2. Right click on motd.txt and select Properties 3. Under Attributes (below), make sure the Read-only box is ticked, like so: Quick fix :: *nix platforms Chmod your "motd.txt" file to 444, read-only mode. 1. cd /path/to/your/server/directory 2. chmod 444 motd.txt Edited July 29, 2010 by Guest Link to comment

Vicer/Spitfire Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Someone should reconsider doing a quick fix of MTA 0.5.x after releasing the first version of MTASA Link to comment
zerb Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Someone should reconsider doing a quick fix of MTA 0.5.x after releasing the first version of MTASA *Coughs* I do agree also. Link to comment
xGj Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Yep agreed. Many people will still play MTA 0.5 after MTASA 0.1 will be released, cause of the gun sync. Untill MTASA with synced DM comes out ofcourse Link to comment
{Static} Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Also, some people prefer Vice City because SA is very laggy even with low detail on a lot of machines. I agree with the quick-fix thing, just a small updater that fixes the most annoying bugs that you have resolved in the time since it was released. Link to comment
Jumba' Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Yea..I almost feel like we MTA 0.5 Players have been left alone No updates.. nothing. When is a decent patch coming to fix the bugs. Link to comment
Gamefreek Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 They arent going to work on the old core since Blue is more of a priority. In the future (near?) they might go back and work on Blue for VC. Link to comment
NapsK Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Working on VC would be cool.. This is the only game which didnt get that bored after 2 year playing sp, mp.. Atleast, in my eyes.. Link to comment
SkUG Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 In answer to ure questions above: no there is no exploit to the MTA server, no there is no way of getting on without knowing the admin password and no the MTA Team does not have access to all mta servers admin. hmm? isnt this what =SGB= was talking about about a year ago? Told you so thanks for making me an idiot <--------- how mature... Link to comment
Omg Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 In answer to ure questions above: no there is no exploit to the MTA server, no there is no way of getting on without knowing the admin password and no the MTA Team does not have access to all mta servers admin. hmm? isnt this what =SGB= was talking about about a year ago? Told you so thanks for making me an idiot <--------- how mature... NO dude that was Olis backdoor hacks that was put in by oli in his script and it was way before 0.5 was released so this is something else , that was olis doing this is a failure on MTA teams part , lots of difference.

Si|ent Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Please post your slanderous statements elsewhere. Thankyou. As for an error being in MTA. Welcome to beta software. May I suggest you read the documentation next time you install something that is in development. In the meantime perhaps it is safer if you stick to tried and tested software such as Barbie Fashion Designer to avoid having to come into contact with any form of bug and the evident suffering it causes you.

Vicer/Spitfire Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 They arent going to work on the old core since Blue is more of a priority. In the future (near?) they might go back and work on Blue for VC. They should just release what they have already changed. It won't matter to players if it's buggy, it just gives them something to play. Link to comment
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted April 21, 2006 MTA Team Share Posted April 21, 2006 There is no update for VC. The 0.5.5 for VC is pretty bugged that we would have to start again from 0.4 . Also one of the reasons why we started developing on the Blue platform sooner then we planned in the first place. Link to comment
Greatis Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) that would be realy nice i stop playing mta:vc because 0.5 was damn bugged, but if mta:bleu would be a nice mp i think a lot of people are going to play vc again. Edited April 22, 2006 by Guest Link to comment
