Brandon Perry discovered that Gaim is vulnerable to a heap-based
|
||
|
|
buffer overflow when handling away messages (CAN-2005-2103).
|
||
|
|
Furthermore, Daniel Atallah discovered a vulnerability in the handling
|
||
|
|
of file transfers (CAN-2005-2102).

|
|
A remote attacker could create a specially crafted away message
|
||
|
|
which, when viewed by the target user, could lead to the execution of
|
||
|
|
arbitrary code. Also, an attacker could send a file with a non-UTF8
|
||
|
|
filename to a user, which would result in a Denial of Service.

<workaround>

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Gaim users should upgrade to the latest version:
