Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________

Package name: gaim
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2005:049
Date: March 4th, 2005

Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, Corporate 3.0
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Gaim versions prior to version 1.1.4 suffer from a few security issues such as the HTML parses not sufficiently validating its input. This allowed a remote attacker to crash the Gaim client be sending certain malformed HTML messages (CAN-2005-0208 and CAN-2005-0473).

As well, insufficient input validation was also discovered in the "Oscar" protocol handler, used for ICQ and AIM. By sending specially crafted packets, remote users could trigger an inifinite loop in Gaim causing it to become unresponsive and hang (CAN-2005-0472).

Gaim 1.1.4 is provided and fixes these issues.
