Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Gaim version 1.2.0

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash. This is achieved by sending a malformed file transfer request to a Jabber user, which leads to an out-of-bounds read.

Recommendations For Gaim version 1.2.0, consider restricting file transfer requests from untrusted sources until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the file transfer feature with Jabber users to minimize the risk of exploitation.
