DESCRIPTION
Gaim[1] is a multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client.
This announcement fixes three denial of service vulnerabilities that
were encountered in Gaim.
The fixed vulnerabilities are:
CAN-2005-0472[2]: Gaim before 1.1.3 allows remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (infinite loop) via malformed SNAC packets from
AIM or ICQ.
CAN-2005-0473[3]: The HTML parsing functions in Gaim before 1.1.3
allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application
crash) via malformed HTML that causes an invalid memory access.
CAN-2005-0208[4]: The HTML parsing functions in Gaim before 1.1.4
allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application
crash) via malformed HTML that causes an invalid memory access. This
vulnerabity is diferent from CAN-2005-0473.
For further informations on Gaim's vulnerabilities, please refer to
the project's security page[5].
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all Gaim users upgrade their packages.
IMPORTANT: Gaim must be restarted after the upgrade in order to close
the vulnerabilities.
