Detail
| 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. (CAN-2005-0966) |

| 15279 | Gaim irc_msg_invite Function Arbitrary Pango Markup Injection |
| 15277 | Gaim IRC Plugin Multiple Function Arbitrary Gaim Markup Injection Gaim contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to inject arbitrary Gaim markup. The issue is triggered due to multiple functions of the IRC protocol plugin. It is possible that the flaw may allow a remote attacker to inject arbitrary Gaim markups over IRC resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 15276 | Gaim gaim_markup_strip_html Function Malformed HTML DoS A remote overflow exists in Gaim. The 'gaim_markup_strip_html()' function fails to perform proper bounds checking resulting in a buffer overflow. By issuing a string that contains malformed HTML, a remote attacker can cause the application to crash resulting in a loss of availability. |
