Very easy to remedy, just always set +x on yourself. Pretty much every ircd supports this.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[Sounds like the attack mentioned in this thread http://etf2l.org/forum/leaguea/topic-14890/page-1/  

My firewall also logged some of these packages. 
Screenshot #1: http://downloads.nice-servers.net/public/a2sinfo.png
Screenshot #2: http://downloads.nice-servers.net/public/a2sinfo2.png

These attacks were done on the following ports on different machines where game servers are running:
udp_dport
20000
20100
20200
20400
20600
20700
20800
21100
21400
21600
22200
22600
25000
27021

I don't know if my firewall rules did help because I was not on one of the servers. Did anyone had issues on our servers?

Anyways it seems that someone is having fun :/

The possible fix I applied is mentioned in the other thread.

Cheers,

    	    <description><![CDATA[Ye. A couple of people have had this on pixel gaming servers, and my servers on my personal dedi which isn't related in any way. I looked into it and it definitely seems TF2/Steam related. There was 4 matches running on one of the pixel gaming boxes at one point last night. 1 server was having issues, along with another on my personal dedi, while the other 3 were having no problems at all.

Just an fyi, it seems network related. I don't want to jump the gun, but a huge number of entirely unrelated servers from different providers all over europe suddenly starting to have issues at the same time not long after a DoS exploit in the engine gets a bit of publicity does sound a little... convenient, to me.]]></description>

I was on 4 different servers (by different companies) yesterday and at some point, they all started lagging epicly (it was really difficult to walk around the map) in the same way, and 2 of them crashed.]]></description>
