| <p> |
| Gaim is a full featured instant messaging client which handles a |
| variety of instant messaging protocols. |
| </p> |
| </background> |
| <description> |
| <p> |
| Specially crafted SNAC packets sent by other instant-messaging |
| users can cause Gaim to loop endlessly (CAN-2005-0472). Malformed HTML |
| code could lead to invalid memory accesses (CAN-2005-0208 and |
| CAN-2005-0473). |
| </p> |
| </description> |
| <impact type="normal"> |
| <p> |
| Remote attackers could exploit these issues, resulting in a Denial |
| of Service. |
| </p> |
| </impact> |
| <workaround> |
| <p> |
| There is no known workaround at this time. |
| </p> |
| </workaround> |
| <resolution> |
| <p> |
| All Gaim users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-im/gaim-1.1.4"</code> |
| </resolution> |
