CVE-2004-0008
CVSS v2.0
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Gaim versions 0.74 and earlier
Ultramagnetic versions prior to 0.81
Description
The issue is related to an integer overflow that can be triggered by a directIM packet, potentially leading to a denial of service and possibly allowing the execution of arbitrary code due to a heap-based buffer overflow.
Recommendations
For Gaim versions 0.74 and earlier, update to a version later than 0.74 to resolve the issue.
For Ultramagnetic versions prior to 0.81, update to version 0.81 or later to fix the problem.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the handling of directIM packets to minimize the risk of exploitation.
