Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in libgadu, the worst of which
may result in execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

libgadu is a library that implements the client side of the Gadu-Gadu
protocol.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-libs/libgadu             < 1.12.0                  >= 1.12.0

Description
===========

libgadu contains multiple vulnerabilities:

* X.509 certificates are not properly validated (CVE-2013-4488)
* A integer overflow error could lead to a buffer overflow
  (CVE-2013-6487)
* Malformed responses from a Gadu-Gadu file relay server are not
  properly handled (CVE-2014-3775)

Impact
======

A remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process, cause a Denial of Service condition, or
spoof servers.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All libgadu users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/libgadu-1.12.0"
