DESCRIPTION
Gaim[1] is a multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client.
This announcement fixes three denial of service vulnerabilities that
were encountered in Gaim.
The fixed vulnerabilities are:
CAN-2005-0965[2]: The gaim_markup_strip_html function allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a
string that contains malformed HTML, which causes an out-of-bounds
read.
CAN-2005-0966[3]: The IRC protocol plugin allowed (1) remote
attackers to inject arbitrary Gaim markup via irc_msg_kick,
irc_msg_mode, irc_msg_part, irc_msg_quit, (2) remote attackers to
inject arbitrary Pango markup and pop up empty dialog boxes via
irc_msg_invite, or (3) malicious IRC servers to cause a denial of
service (application crash) by injecting certain Pango markup into
irc_msg_badmode, irc_msg_banned, irc_msg_unknown, irc_msg_nochan
functions.
CAN-2005-0967[4]: Sending a Gaim Jabber user a certain invalid file
transfer request triggered an out-of-bounds read which caused Gaim to
crash.
For further informations on Gaim's vulnerabilities, please refer to
the project's security page[5].
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all Gaim users upgrade their packages.
IMPORTANT: Gaim must be restarted after the upgrade in order to close
the vulnerabilities.
