Description |
A remote overflow exists in Gaim. The HTTP proxy (http_canread function) subsystem fails to check if the proxy sends more than 8192 bytes in a line, resulting in a buffer overflow. With a malicious proxy sending specially crafted input, an attacker can overwrite the buffer and gain control of the instruction pointer resulting in a loss of integrity.
