Summary:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:071 (gaim)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to gaim announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:071. More vulnerabilities have been discovered in the gaim instant messaging client: A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the way that gaim escapes HTML, allowing a remote attacker to send a specially crafted message to a gaim client and causing it to crash (CVE-2005-0965). A bug was discovered in several of gaim's IRC processing functions that fail to properly remove various markup tags within an IRC message. This could allow a remote attacker to send specially crafted message to a gaim client connected to an IRC server, causing it to crash (CVE-2005-0966). Finally, a problem was found in gaim's Jabber message parser that would allow a remote Jabber user to send a specially crafted message to a gaim client, bausing it to crash (CVE-2005-0967). Gaim version 1.2.1 is not vulnerable to these issues and is provided with this update. Affected versions: 10.1, Corporate 3.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2005:071 Risk factor : High
