Nico Golde reported a stack-based buffer overflow when processing a MSN
|
|
packet with a UBX command containing a large UBX payload length field.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted message, possibly
|
|
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Since TMSNC is no longer maintained, we recommend that users unmerge
|
|
the vulnerable package and switch to another console-based MSN client
|
|
such as CenterIM or Pebrot:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --unmerge "net-im/tmsnc"</code>
|
|
