Synopsis
========

Kopete is vulnerable to several input validation vulnerabilities which
may lead to execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

KDE is a feature-rich graphical desktop environment for Linux and
Unix-like Operating Systems. Kopete (also part of kdenetwork) is the
KDE Instant Messenger.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Description
===========

Kopete contains an internal copy of libgadu and is therefore subject to
several input validation vulnerabilities in libgadu.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary
code or crash Kopete.

Workaround
==========

Delete all Gadu Gadu contacts.

Resolution
==========

All Kopete users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/kdenetwork

All KDE Split Ebuild Kopete users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=kde-base/kopete-3.4.1-r1"
