descriptionVersions of Licq prior to 1.0.3 have a vulnerability involving the way Licq parses received URLs. The received URLs are passed to the web browser without any sanity checking by using the system() function. Because of the lack of checks on the URL, remote attackers can pipe other commands with the sent URLs causing the client to unwillingly execute arbitrary commands. The URL parsing code has been fixed in the most recent 1.0.3 version. Users of Linux-Mandrake 7.1 and Corporate Server 1.0.1 will have to manually remove the licq-data package by using

Users of Linux-Mandrake 7.1 and Corporate Server 1.0.1 will have to

Update :

The Licq update for Linux-Mandrake 7.2 was built against the qt2
libraries available in MandrakeFreq. As such, the previously released
Licq packages will be made available in MandrakeFreq and users of
Linux-Mandrake 7.2 without MandrakeFreq or the 'unsupported' updates
applied should use these new packages."
