|
A possible buffer overflow exists in the code processing MSN SLP messages
|
|
(CAN-2004-0891). memcpy() was used without validating the size of the
|
|
buffer, and an incorrect buffer was used as destination under certain
|
|
circumstances. Additionally, memory allocation problems were found in the
|
|
processing of MSN SLP messages and the receiving of files. These issues
|
|
could lead Gaim to try to allocate more memory than available, resulting in
|
|
the crash of the application.

|
|
A remote attacker could crash Gaim and possibly execute arbitrary code by
|
|
exploiting the buffer overflow.

There is no known workaround at this time.
