Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200512-11 (CenterICQ: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Gentoo developer Wernfried Haas discovered that when the 'Enable     peer-to-peer communications' option is enabled, CenterICQ opens a port     that insufficiently validates whatever is sent to it. Furthermore,     Zone-H Research reported a buffer overflow in the ktools library.

Impact :

A remote attacker could cause a crash of CenterICQ by sending     packets to the peer-to-peer communications port, and potentially cause     the execution of arbitrary code by enticing a CenterICQ user to edit     overly long contact details.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
