Message-ID: <20050406122100.GA23961@tomservo.hsd1.ma.comcast.net> Date: Sun Jul 17 15:04:18 2005 From: lewk at gentoo.org (Luke Macken) Subject: [gentoo-announce] [ GLSA 200504-05 ] Gaim: Denial of Service issues - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200504-05 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Low Title: Gaim: Denial of Service issues Date: April 06, 2005 Updated: April 06, 2005 Bugs: #87903 ID: 200504-05:02 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======== Gaim contains multiple vulnerabilities that can lead 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 < 1.2.1 >= 1.2.1 Description =========== Multiple vulnerabilities have been addressed in the latest release of Gaim: * A buffer overread in the gaim_markup_strip_html() function, which is used when logging conversations (CAN-2005-0965). * Markup tags are improperly escaped using Gaim's IRC plugin (CAN-2005-0966). * Sending a specially crafted file transfer request to a Gaim Jabber user can trigger a crash (CAN-2005-0967). Impact ====== An attacker could possibly cause a Denial of Service by exploiting any of these vulnerabilities. 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-1.2.1" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-0967 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0967 [ 2 ] CAN-2005-0966 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0966 [ 3 ] CAN-2005-0965 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0965 [ 4 ] Gaim Vulnerability Index http://gaim.sourceforge.net/security/ Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200504-05.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
