[GLSA-200508-06] Gaim: Remote execution of arbitrary code |
||
Gaim: Remote execution of arbitrary code Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200508-06 (Gaim: Remote execution of arbitrary code) Brandon Perry discovered that Gaim is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow when handling away messages (CVE-2005-2103). Furthermore, Daniel Atallah discovered a vulnerability in the handling of file transfers (CVE-2005-2102). Impact 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, a possible hacker 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.
