ATI driver causes buffer overrun

[cadaveca]

The list of affected games appears to be quite long. Call of Duty, America's Army, Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Vietnam, Enemy Territory, Far Cry, Joint Operations, MOH Pacific Assault, Quake 3 Arena, Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield, RTCW, Soldier of Fortune II and Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow are affected.

seems netcode lays at the problem's feet. It maybe this issue that is affecting CS:S users, and, potentially, HL2 users as well.

afaik Source isn't using PunkBuster, but VAC

you are correct, however, whatever countermeasures may be taken may be subject to the same problem...it's a netcode attack that will cause a mem leak. Hopefully, when HL2 is released, we will see something activate, such as VAC, and it may casue the same issues.
