| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 3734 | Gaim DirectIM AIM/Oscar Integer Buffer Overflow A remote overflow exists in gaim. Gaim fails to correctly parse some malformed directIM packets, resulting in a heap overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause the execution of arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 3732 | Gaim HTTP Proxy Connect Overflow A remote overflow exists in Gaim. The HTTP proxy (http_canread function) subsystem fails to check if the proxy sends more than 8192 bytes in a line, resulting in a buffer overflow. With a malicious proxy sending specially crafted input, an attacker can overwrite the buffer and gain control of the instruction pointer resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 3731 | Gaim URL Parser Function Overflow A remote overflow exists in Gaim. The URL Parser Function splits a URL into its parts using temporary fixed size stackbuffers in an unsafe way, resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted set of data, an attacker can overflow the buffer and possibly execute arbitrary code on the system, resulting in a loss of integrity. Note that it is only possible to overwrite the buffers with a limited character set which makes exploitation difficult. |
| 3730 | Gaim Yahoo Parser Buffer Overflow |
