Subject: [USN-168-1] Gaim vulnerabilities

===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-168-1	    August 12, 2005
gaim vulnerabilities
CAN-2005-2102, CAN-2005-2103, CAN-2005-2370
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)

The following packages are affected:

gaim

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 1:1.0.0-1ubuntu1.8 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 1:1.1.4-1ubuntu4.4
(for Ubuntu 5.04).  After performing a standard system upgrade you
need to restart Gaim to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Daniel Atallah discovered a Denial of Service vulnerability in the
file transfer handler of OSCAR (the module that handles various
instant messaging protocols like ICQ). A remote attacker could crash
the Gaim client of an user by attempting to send him a file with
a name that contains invalid UTF-8 characters. (CAN-2005-2102)

It was found that specially crafted "away" messages triggered a buffer
overflow. A remote attacker could exploit this to crash the Gaim
client or possibly even execute arbitrary code with the permissions of
the Gaim user. (CAN-2005-2103)

Szymon Zygmunt and Micha? Bartoszkiewicz discovered a memory alignment
error in the Gadu library, which was fixed in USN-162-1. However, it
was discovered that Gaim contains a copy of the vulnerable code. By
sending specially crafted messages over the Gadu protocol, a remote
attacker could crash Gaim. (CAN-2005-2370)
