DSA-813-1 centericq Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Several problems have been discovered in libgadu which is also part of centericq, a text-mode multi-protocol instant messenger client. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: Multiple integer signedness errors may permit remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. Memory alignment errors may permits remote attackers to cause a denial of service on certain architectures such as sparc. Several endianess errors may permit remote attackers to cause a denial of service. The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by these problems. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 4.20.0-1sarge2. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 4.20.0-9. We recommend that you upgrade your centericq package.
