Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-168-1 (gaim)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to gaim announced via advisory USN-168-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) The following packages are affected: gaim Daniel Atallah discovered a Denial of Service vulnerability in the file transfer handler of OSCAR (the module that handles various instant messaging protocols like ICQ). A remote attacker could crash the Gaim client of an user by attempting to send him a file with a name that contains invalid UTF-8 characters. (CVE-2005-2102) It was found that specially crafted away messages triggered a buffer overflow. A remote attacker could exploit this to crash the Gaim client or possibly even execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the Gaim user. (CVE-2005-2103) Szymon Zygmunt and Michał Bartoszkiewicz discovered a memory alignment error in the Gadu library, which was fixed in USN-162-1. However, it was discovered that Gaim contains a copy of the vulnerable code. By sending specially crafted messages over the Gadu protocol, a remote attacker could crash Gaim. (CVE-2005-2370) Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 1:1.0.0-1ubuntu1.8 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 1:1.1.4-1ubuntu4.4 (for Ubuntu 5.04). After performing a standard system upgrade you need to restart Gaim to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-168-1 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
