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.
