Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2004 13:02:16 -0200 From: Conectiva Updates <secure@...ectiva.com.br> To: conectiva-updates@...aleguas.conectiva.com.br, lwn@....net, bugtraq@...urityfocus.com, security-alerts@...uxsecurity.com, linsec@...ts.seifried.org Subject: [CLA-2004:884] Conectiva Security Announcement - gaim -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : gaim SUMMARY : Fixes for gaim's vulnerabilities DATE : 2004-11-04 12:51:00 ID : CLA-2004:884 RELEVANT RELEASES : 9, 10 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION Gaim[1] is a multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client. This announcement fixes several denial of service and buffer overflow vulnerabilities that were encountered in Gaim. The fixed vulnerabilities are: CAN-2004-0500[2]: Buffer overflow in the MSN protocol plugins object.c and slp.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via MSNSLP protocol messages that are not properly handled in a strncpy call. CAN-2004-0754[3]: Integer overflow in Gaim allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via the size variable in Groupware server messages. CAN-2004-0784[4]: The smiley theme functionality in Gaim allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the filename of the tar file that is dragged to the smiley selector. CAN-2004-0785[5]: Multiple buffer overflows in Gaim allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via Rich Text Format (RTF) messages, a long hostname for the local system as obtained from DNS, or a long URL that is not properly handled by the URL decoder. For further informations on Gaim's vulnerabilities, please refer to the project's security page[6]. 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.
