Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.12.2005.106.1
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-106-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'gaim' package(s) announced via the USN-106-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'gaim' package(s) announced via the USN-106-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Jean-Yves Lefort discovered a buffer overflow in the
gaim_markup_strip_html() function. This caused Gaim to crash when
receiving certain malformed HTML messages. (CAN-2005-0965)

Jean-Yves Lefort also noticed that many functions that handle IRC
commands do not escape received HTML metacharacters, this allowed
remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service by injecting arbitrary
HTML code into the conversation window, popping up arbitrarily many
empty dialog boxes, or even causing Gaim to crash. (CAN-2005-0966)

Affected Software/OS:
'gaim' package(s) on Ubuntu 4.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
6.4
