My server crashes due to some unknown reasons look in the image below


I think it is cause due to stack smashing protection enabled by default in Linux . The problem occurs when a player message gets overflowed as seen in the image above.
Or it could also be possible that some one is trying to exploit a Buffer overflow in the server .
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated .

=====================================================

UPDATE : I found a temporary fix for this problem read below
Problem arises because the server doesnot kick timed out players and keep sending them gamestate , so the solution is simple I.e to limit the number of players who would potentially lag the server .

I used these two rates to temporarily fix the problem
sv_maxping 400
sv_timeout 100

After this I didn't face the message overflow and crash again !!

You'll likely want to consult with Arnold (our linux guy). I can prep the set some though. What revision are you using?
