  <title>CenterICQ: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
  <synopsis>
    CenterICQ is vulnerable to a Denial of Service issue, and also potentially
    to the execution of arbitrary code through an included vulnerable ktools
    library.

    <p>
    CenterICQ is a text-based instant messaging interface that
    supports multiple protocols. It includes the ktools library, which
    provides text-mode user interface controls.

  <description>
    <p>
    Gentoo developer Wernfried Haas discovered that when the "Enable
    peer-to-peer communications" option is enabled, CenterICQ opens a port
    that insufficiently validates whatever is sent to it. Furthermore,
    Zone-H Research reported a buffer overflow in the ktools library.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could cause a crash of CenterICQ by sending
    packets to the peer-to-peer communications port, and potentially cause
    the execution of arbitrary code by enticing a CenterICQ user to edit
    overly long contact details.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All CenterICQ users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-im/centericq-4.21.0-r2&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
