Severity: High Title: Gaim: Remote execution of arbitrary code Date: August 15, 2005 Bugs: #102000 ID: 200508-06

Synopsis ========
Gaim is vulnerable to a buffer overflow which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code or 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 < 1.5.0 >= 1.5.0
Description ===========
Brandon Perry discovered that Gaim is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow when handling away messages (CAN-2005-2103). Furthermore, Daniel Atallah discovered a vulnerability in the handling of file transfers (CAN-2005-2102).
Impact ======
A remote attacker could create a specially crafted away message which, when viewed by the target user, could lead to the execution of arbitrary code. Also, an attacker could send a file with a non-UTF8 filename to a user, which would result in a Denial of Service.
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-1.5.0"
