Our build servers run Debian 11 and consequently we are currently using glibc 2.31. (
https://packages.debian.org/source/bullseye/glibc)
We are committed to keep supporting this version for as long as possible.

yea ok then in that case my bug is just a dos due to the lack of a leak, just a (limited) overflow

It sounds like there is a (possible) Memory Leak, specific to Linux?
I am curious if this is inside the “Game Sandbox”, or if it is one of the pre-authentication Network functions for when a client is joining a Multiplayer game? I only disassembled the Windows binaries myself, and they seemed to handle everything correctly (ie, free-ing memory after rejecting a Client) at least as far back as 1.0.

not a memory leak but a heap based buffer overflow. namely the lua stack.

by a leak i ment a info leak to defeat alsr. its only posable to trigger from lua and if you can do this you can already dos by causing a infanent loop
