Description:
Stefan Esser has identified multiple vulnerabilities in Gaim, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerabilities are all caused due to boundary errors in the YMSG protocol handler, the oscar protocol handler, various utility functions, and the HTTP proxy connection handling. These can be exploited to cause buffer overflows, where some may allow execution of arbitrary code on a user's system.
Version 0.75 and prior have been reported vulnerable.
