Buffer overflow in the MSN protocol plugins (1) object.c and (2) slp.c for Gaim before 0.82 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via MSNSLP protocol messages that are not properly handled in a strncpy call.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2004-0500 is a remote buffer overflow in Gaim's MSN protocol plugins before version 0.82. A malicious MSN protocol message could crash the client and may allow arbitrary code execution. This mainly matters where legacy Gaim installations still exist. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems running Gaim before 0.82 with the MSN protocol plugin installed or usable. Modern environments are unlikely to be affected unless old desktop images, embedded builds, or archived Linux packages remain in use. Treat this as high priority only if legacy Gaim is present. The business risk is concentrated in outdated desktop or packaged environments, not typical modern messaging stacks. Confirm exposure before allocating emergency response resources. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Gaim to version 0.82 or a vendor-fixed package.; Use relevant distribution advisories for Red Hat, Fedora, Gentoo, SUSE, or Mandrake.; Remove or disable legacy Gaim installations if the software is no longer required..
