Hey all just letting people know that a weakness has been found in the COD4 dedicated server software, and someone this weekend was using it to crash peoples servers. This is the post from IW and a message at the end from the person that did it.

The fix for now to prevent it from happening is to disable the client console. In your server config add the following line:

set sv_disableClientConsole "1"

IW has been contacted and hopefully they will get a permanent solution soon. This idiot cost us alot of hours this weekend trying to figure it out and he had us baffled.

Pass this info on to as many admins as you can.
