Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.64286
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:140 (gaim)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to gaim;announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:140.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to gaim
announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:140.

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple security vulnerabilities has been identified and fixed
in gaim:

Buffer overflow in the XMPP SOCKS5 bytestream server in Pidgin before
2.5.6 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via
vectors involving an outbound XMPP file transfer. NOTE: some of these
details are obtained from third party information (CVE-2009-1373).

Multiple integer overflows in the msn_slplink_process_msg functions
in the MSN protocol handler in (1) libpurple/protocols/msn/slplink.c
and (2) libpurple/protocols/msnp9/slplink.c in Pidgin before 2.5.6
on 32-bit platforms allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
via a malformed SLP message with a crafted offset value, leading to
buffer overflows. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete
fix for CVE-2008-2927 (CVE-2009-1376).

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.

Affected: Corporate 3.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
