Several problems have been discovered in libgadu which is also part of centericq, a text-mode multi-protocol instant messenger client. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
CAN-2005-2369 Multiple integer signedness errors may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
CAN-2005-2370
Memory alignment errors may allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service on certain architectures such as sparc.
CAN-2005-2448
Several endianess errors may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service.
