Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Gadu-Gadu version 7.20

Description The issue is a stack-based buffer overflow that can be triggered by a remote attacker, causing a denial of service (crash). This occurs when an image filename with a length of exactly 192 to 200 characters is used, which does not account for the added "imgcache" string, thus overflowing the buffer.

Recommendations For Gadu-Gadu version 7.20, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting the length of image filenames to prevent the buffer overflow until a patch is available.
