Summary

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.

    descriptionJean-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). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    (Gaim: Denial of Service issues)
    
        Multiple vulnerabilities have been addressed in the latest release of
        Gaim:
        A buffer overread in the gaim_markup_strip_html() function,
        which is used when logging conversations (CAN-2005-0965).
        Markup tags are improperly escaped using Gaim's IRC plugin
        (CAN-2005-0966).
        Sending a specially crafted file transfer request to a Gaim Jabber
        user can trigger a crash (CAN-2005-0967).
      
    Impact :
    
        An attacker could possibly cause a Denial of Service by exploiting any
        of these vulnerabilities.
      
    Workaround :
    
        There is no known workaround at this time."

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The Gaim application is a multi-protocol instant messaging client. A buffer overflow bug was found in the way gaim escapes HTML. It is possible that a remote attacker could send a specially crafted message to a Gaim client, causing it to crash.
