Sebastian Krahmer discovered several remotely exploitable
buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the MSN component of
gaim.
In two places in the MSN protocol plugins (object.c and
slp.c), strncpy was used incorrectly; the size of the array
was not checked before copying to it. Both bugs affect MSN’s
MSNSLP protocol, which is peer-to-peer, so this could
potentially be easy to exploit.
