+ <title>Gaim: Remote execution of arbitrary code</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Gaim is vulnerable to a buffer overflow which could lead to the execution
+ of arbitrary code or to a Denial of Service.

+ <package name="net-im/gaim" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Gaim is a full featured instant messaging client which handles a
+ variety of instant messaging protocols.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Brandon Perry discovered that Gaim is vulnerable to a heap-based
+ buffer overflow when handling away messages (CAN-2005-2103).
+ Furthermore, Daniel Atallah discovered a vulnerability in the handling
+ of file transfers (CAN-2005-2102).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ 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, an attacker could send a file with a non-UTF8
+ filename to a user, which would result in a Denial of Service.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Gaim users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-im/gaim-1.5.0"</code>
