Description |
A remote overflow exists in Gaim. The Extract Info Field Function combines data from two tokens into a fixed-length stack buffer without properly checking the size of the resulting string, resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted set of data, an attacker can overflow the buffer and possibly execute arbitrary code on the system, resulting in a loss of integrity.
