[USN-125-1] Gaim vulnerabilities

===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-125-1               May 12, 2005
gaim vulnerabilities
CAN-2005-0967, CAN-2005-1261, CAN-2005-1261
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)

The following packages are affected:

gaim
gaim-data

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 1:1.0.0-1ubuntu1.4 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 1:1.1.4-1ubuntu4.1
(for Ubuntu 5.04). After a standard system upgrade you have to restart
Gaim to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Marco Alvarez found a Denial of Service vulnerability in the Jabber
protocol handler. A remote attacker could exploit this to crash Gaim
by sending specially crafted file transfers to the user.
(CAN-2005-0967)

Stu Tomlinson discovered an insufficient bounds checking flaw in the
URL parser. By sending a message containing a very long URL, a remote
attacker could crash Gaim or execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user. This was not possible on all protocols, due to
message length restrictions. Jabber are SILC were known to be
vulnerable. (CAN-2005-1261)

Siebe Tolsma discovered a Denial of Service attack in the MSN handler.
By sending a specially crafted SLP message with an empty body, a
remote attacker could crash Gaim. (CAN-2005-1262)
