Vulnerable Ports

This list (a very small part of our SG Ports database) includes TCP/UDP ports currently tested by our Security Scanner, and corresponding potential security threats. We update the list on a regular basis, however if you feel we should add other port(s) to the list or modify their descriptions, please . Any feedback and suggestions can also be posted to our Security forum.

Port(s) Protocol Service Scan level Description
 27666 tcp,udp games not scanned Doom 3
 27700 tcp applications not scanned Risk Based Security has reported a vulnerability in multiple Schneider Electric products, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the modbus serial driver (ModbusDrv.exe) when parsing MBAP data and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted request to TCP port 27700.

Aliens vs Predator 2 uses ports 27888-27900

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in the Monolith Lithtech engine, as used by First Encounter Assault Recon (F.E.A.R.) 1.08 and earlier, when Punkbuster (PB) is enabled, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via format string specifiers in a PB_Y packet to the YPG server on UDP port 27888 or a PB_U packet to UCON on UDP port 27888.

 27901 udp games not scanned Battlefield 2142 Stats, Star Trek Armada II, id Software's Quake II master server

Stack-based buffer overflow in the M_AddToServerList function in client/menu.c in Red Planet Arena Alien Arena 7.30 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a packet with a crafted server description to UDP port 27901 followed by a packet with a long print command.

 27942 tcp malware not scanned Backdoor.Win32.Agent.ggw / Authentication Bypass - the malware runs a built-in FTP server listening on one of several random TCP ports like 32335, 27227, 27942, 14223, 14988, 11092. Third-party attackers who can reach the server and that know or guess the port can "logon" using any USER/PASS combination or provide no credentials at all.

Vertex4 SunAge 1.08.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and hang) via a crafted join packet to UDP port 27960.
References: [CVE-2008-6671], [BID-29889]

Vertex4 SunAge 1.08.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service ("runtime error") via a crafted join packet to UDP port 27960, probably related to an invalid nickname command.
References: [CVE-2008-6672] [BID-29889] [SECUNIA-30823]

Integer overflow in Vertex4 SunAge 1.08.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted packet to UDP port 27960.
References: [CVE-2008-6670] [BID-29889] [SECUNIA-30823] [OSVDB-46561]

Quake3 Arena is vulnerable to a denial of service attack caused by a buffer overflow when initiating a connect sequence with the server's default port 27960. By sending a UDP packet with a string containing 255 characters four times with "connectre", a remote attacker can overflow a buffer to cause the server to crash.
