Vulnerability Assessment Summary gaim vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote package "gaim" is missing a security patch. Description : The Gaim developers discovered that the HTML parser did not sufficiently validate its input. This permited a remote attacker to crash the Gaim client by sending certain malformed HTML messages. (CVE-2005-0208, CVE-2005-0473) Another lack of sufficient input validation was found in the "Oscar" protocol handler which is used for ICQ and AIM. By sending specially crafted packets, remote users could trigger an infinite loop in Gaim which caused Gaim to become unresponsive and hang. (CVE-2005-0472) Solution : Upgrade to : - gaim-1.0.0-1ubuntu1.2 (Ubuntu 4.10) Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi
