                    Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
     _______________________________________________________________________

     Package name: gaim
     Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:006-1
     Date: January 30th, 2004
     Original Advisory Date: January 26th, 2004
     Affected versions: 9.1, 9.2
     ______________________________________________________________________

     Problem Description:

     A number of vulnerabilities were discovered in the gaim instant
     messenger program by Steffan Esser, versions 0.75 and earlier.
     Thanks to Jacques A. Vidrine for providing initial patches.
     
     Multiple buffer overflows exist in gaim 0.75 and earlier: When
     parsing cookies in a Yahoo web connection; YMSG protocol overflows
     parsing the Yahoo login webpage; a YMSG packet overflow; flaws in
     the URL parser; and flaws in the HTTP Proxy connect (CAN-2004-006).
     
     A buffer overflow in gaim 0.74 and earlier in the Extract Info Field
     Function used for MSN and YMSG protocol handlers (CAN-2004-007).
     
     An integer overflow in gaim 0.74 and earlier, when allocating memory
     for a directIM packet results in a heap overflow (CAN-2004-0008).
      
    Update:

     The patch used to correct the problem was slightly malformed and
     could cause an infinite loop and crash with the Yahoo protocol.
     The new packages have a corrected patch that resolves the problem.
