gaim: buffer overflow, DoS
| Package(s): | gaim |
CVE #(s): | CAN-2005-0965
CAN-2005-0966
|
| Created: | April 5, 2005 |
Updated: | May 15, 2005 |
| Description: |
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. (CAN-2005-0966) |
