Ubuntu alert USN-106-1 (gaim)
=========================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-106-1 April 05, 2005 gaim vulnerabilities CAN-2005-0965, CAN-2005-0966 =========================================================== A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) The following packages are affected: gaim The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 1:1.0.0-1ubuntu1.3. You have to restart gaim after a standard system upgrade to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: Jean-Yves Lefort discovered a buffer overflow in the gaim_markup_strip_html() function. This caused Gaim to crash when receiving certain malformed HTML messages. (CAN-2005-0965) Jean-Yves Lefort also noticed that many functions that handle IRC commands do not escape received HTML metacharacters; this allowed remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service by injecting arbitrary HTML code into the conversation window, popping up arbitrarily many empty dialog boxes, or even causing Gaim to crash.
