Dopewars 1.5.12 contains a vulnerability where a remote attacker can send a specially crafted REQUESTJET message with an invalid location value, causing the application to crash with a segmentation fault. This is due to insufficient input validation on the location parameter in the REQUESTJET message handler.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module (dopewars.rb) that exploits a denial of service vulnerability (CVE-2009-3591) in Dopewars 1.5.12. The exploit targets the 'jet' command in the Dopewars server, which fails to properly validate input, leading to a segmentation fault and server crash. The module connects to the target server on TCP port 7902 (the default for Dopewars), sends a specially crafted packet, and then checks if the server has crashed by attempting to reconnect. If the connection is refused, the exploit reports success. The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure, making it easy to use within the Metasploit framework. No hardcoded IP addresses or URLs are present; the only fingerprintable endpoint is the TCP port 7902.
