Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51811
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:049 (gaim)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to gaim
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:049.

Gaim versions prior to version 1.1.4 suffer from a few security issues
such as the HTML parses not sufficiently validating its input. This
allowed a remote attacker to crash the Gaim client be sending certain
malformed HTML messages (CVE-2005-0208 and CVE-2005-0473).

As well, insufficient input validation was also discovered in the
Oscar protocol handler, used for ICQ and AIM. By sending specially
crafted packets, remote users could trigger an inifinite loop in Gaim
causing it to become unresponsive and hang (CVE-2005-0472).

Gaim 1.1.4 is provided and fixes these issues.

Affected versions: 10.0, 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.
