Description:
Three weaknesses have been reported in Gaim, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) An error in the "gaim_markup_strip_html()" function when processing HTML can be exploited to cause an out-of-bounds read error and crash the application.
2) An error in the IRC protocol plug-in when processing received messages over IRC can be exploited to crash the application.
3) An error within the handling of certain file transfer requests can be exploited to cause an out-of-bounds read error and crash a Gaim Jabber user's application.
