                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           gaim
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2004:006-1
 Date:                   January 30th, 2004
 Original Advisory Date: January 26th, 2004
 Affected versions:	 9.1, 9.2
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A number of vulnerabilities were discovered in the gaim instant
 messenger program by Steffan Esser, versions 0.75 and earlier.
 Thanks to Jacques A. Vidrine for providing initial patches.
 
 Multiple buffer overflows exist in gaim 0.75 and earlier:  When
 parsing cookies in a Yahoo web connection; YMSG protocol overflows
 parsing the Yahoo login webpage; a YMSG packet overflow; flaws in
 the URL parser; and flaws in the HTTP Proxy connect (CAN-2004-006).
 
 A buffer overflow in gaim 0.74 and earlier in the Extract Info Field
 Function used for MSN and YMSG protocol handlers (CAN-2004-007).
 
 An integer overflow in gaim 0.74 and earlier, when allocating memory
 for a directIM packet results in a heap overflow (CAN-2004-0008).
  
Update:

 The patch used to correct the problem was slightly malformed and
 could cause an infinite loop and crash with the Yahoo protocol.
 The new packages have a corrected patch that resolves the problem.
