Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in the way Kopete processes Gadu-Gadu messages

Summary

Networking applications for the K Desktop Environment.

Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in the way Kopete processes

Gadu-Gadu messages. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted

Gadu-Gadu message which would cause Kopete to crash or possibly execute

arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project

assigned the name CAN-2005-1852 to this issue.

Users of Kopete should update to these packages which contain a

patch to correct this issue.

dialog not able to register/retrieve token due to network problems.
