The IRC protocol plugin in Gaim 1.2.0, and possibly earlier versions, allows (1) remote attackers to inject arbitrary Gaim markup via irc_msg_kick, irc_msg_mode, irc_msg_part, irc_msg_quit, (2) remote attackers to inject arbitrary Pango markup and pop up empty dialog boxes via irc_msg_invite, or (3) malicious IRC servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) by injecting certain Pango markup into irc_msg_badmode, irc_msg_banned, irc_msg_unknown, irc_msg_nochan functions.

CVE-2005-0965 Gaim vulnerabilities
Title: Gaim vulnerabilities
Summary: Gaim vulnerabilities
Jean-Yves Lefort discovered a buffer overflow in the
gaim_markup_strip_html() function. This caused Gaim to crash when
receiving certain malformed HTML messages. (CAN-2005-0965)
Jean-Yves Lefort also noticed that many functions that handle IRC
commands do not escape received HTML metacharacters; this allowed
remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service by injecting arbitrary
HTML code into the conversation window, popping up arbitrarily many
empty dialog boxes, or even causing Gaim to crash. (CAN-2005-0966)
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

Two HTML parsing bugs were discovered in Gaim. It is possible that a remote
attacker could send a specially crafted message to a Gaim client, causing
it to crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2005-0208 and CAN-2005-0473 to
these issues.
A bug in the way Gaim processes SNAC packets was discovered. It is
possible that a remote attacker could send a specially crafted SNAC packet
to a Gaim client, causing the client to stop responding. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2005-0472 to this issue.
