Synopsis ========
Gaim contains multiple vulnerabilities that can lead to a Denial of Service.
Background ==========
Gaim is a full featured instant messaging client which handles a variety of instant messaging protocols.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-im/gaim < 1.2.1 >= 1.2.1
Description ===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been addressed in the latest release of Gaim:
* A buffer overread in the gaim_markup_strip_html() function, which is used when logging conversations (CAN-2005-0965).
* Markup tags are improperly escaped using Gaim's IRC plugin (CAN-2005-0966).
* Sending a specially crafted file transfer request to a Gaim Jabber user can trigger a crash (CAN-2005-0967).
Impact ======
An attacker could possibly cause a Denial of Service by exploiting any of these vulnerabilities.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All Gaim users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-im/gaim-1.2.1"
