Rob FlynnCVEs & Vulnerabilities

The AIM/ICQ module in Gaim before 1.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a filename that contains invalid UTF-8 characters.

Multiple "memory alignment errors" in libgadu, as used in ekg before 1.6rc2, Gaim before 1.5.0, and other packages, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (bus error) on certain architectures such as SPARC via an incoming message.

Gaim before 1.3.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a Yahoo! message with non-ASCII characters in a file name.

Gaim before 1.3.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed MSN message that leads to a memory allocation of a large size, possibly due to an integer signedness error.

Gaim 1.2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed MSN message.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the URL parsing function in Gaim before 1.3.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an instant message (IM) with a large URL.

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," a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-0473.

Gaim 1.1.3 on Windows systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client crash) via a file transfer in which the filename contains "(" or ")" (parenthesis) characters.

The gaim_markup_strip_html function in Gaim 1.2.0, and possibly earlier versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a string that contains malformed HTML, which causes an out-of-bounds read.

The IRC protocol plugin in Gaim 1.2.0, and possibly earlier versions, allows (1) remote attackers to inject arbitrary Gaim markup via irc_msg_kick, irc_msg_mode, irc_msg_part, irc_msg_quit, (2) remote attackers to inject arbitrary Pango markup and pop up empty dialog boxes via irc_msg_invite, or (3) malicious IRC servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) by injecting certain Pango markup into irc_msg_badmode, irc_msg_banned, irc_msg_unknown, irc_msg_nochan functions.

Gaim 1.2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed file transfer request to a Jabber user, which leads to an out-of-bounds read.

Gaim before 1.1.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via malformed SNAC packets from (1) AIM or (2) ICQ.

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," a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-0208.

Buffer overflow in the MSN protocol handler for gaim 0.79 to 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an "unexpected sequence of MSNSLP messages" that results in an unbounded copy operation that writes to the wrong buffer.

Gaim before 0.82 allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long HTTP Content-Length header, which causes Gaim to abort when attempting to allocate memory.

Integer overflow in Gaim before 0.82 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via the size variable in Groupware server messages.

The smiley theme functionality in Gaim before 0.82 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the filename of the tar file that is dragged to the smiley selector.

Multiple buffer overflows in Gaim before 0.82 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) Rich Text Format (RTF) messages, (2) a long hostname for the local system as obtained from DNS, or (3) a long URL that is not properly handled by the URL decoder.

Buffer overflow in the MSN protocol plugins (1) object.c and (2) slp.c for Gaim before 0.82 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via MSNSLP protocol messages that are not properly handled in a strncpy call.

Multiple buffer overflows in Gaim 0.75 and earlier, and Ultramagnetic before 0.81, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) cookies in a Yahoo web connection, (2) a long name parameter in the Yahoo login web page, (3) a long value parameter in the Yahoo login page, (4) a YMSG packet, (5) the URL parser, and (6) HTTP proxy connect.

Buffer overflow in the Extract Info Field Function for (1) MSN and (2) YMSG protocol handlers in Gaim 0.74 and earlier, and Ultramagnetic before 0.81, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.

Integer overflow in Gaim 0.74 and earlier, and Ultramagnetic before 0.81, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a directIM packet that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Buffer overflow in Jabber plug-in for Gaim client before 0.58 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

The URL handler in the manual browser option for Gaim before 0.59.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script via shell metacharacters in a link.

Gaim 0.57 stores sensitive information in world-readable and group-writable files in the /tmp directory, which allows local users to access MSN web email accounts of other users who run Gaim by reading authentication information from the files.

Buffer overflow in Gaim 0.10.3 and earlier using the OSCAR protocol allows remote attackers to conduct a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary commands via a long HTML tag.
