[GLSA-200505-09] Gaim: Denial of Service and buffer overflow vulnerabilties |
||
Gaim: Denial of Service and buffer overflow vulnerabilties Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200505-09 (Gaim: Denial of Service and buffer overflow vulnerabilties) Stu Tomlinson discovered that Gaim is vulnerable to a remote stack based buffer overflow when receiving messages in certain protocols, like Jabber and SILC, with a very long URL (CVE-2005-1261). Siebe Tolsma discovered that Gaim is also vulnerable to a remote Denial of Service attack when receiving a specially crafted MSN message (CVE-2005-1262). Impact A remote attacker could cause a buffer overflow by sending an instant message with a very long URL, potentially leading to the execution of malicious code. By sending a SLP message with an empty body, a remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service or crash of the Gaim client. Workaround There are no known workarounds at this time.
