+ <title>Centericq: Remote buffer overflow in LiveJournal handling</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Centericq does not properly handle communications with the LiveJournal
+ service, allowing for the remote execution of arbitrary code.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">centericq</product>
+ <announced>January 24, 2007</announced>

+ <bug>160793</bug>
+ <access>remote</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="net-im/centericq" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <vulnerable range="le">4.21.0-r2</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Centericq is a text mode menu-driven and window-driven instant
+ messaging interface.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ When interfacing with the LiveJournal service, Centericq does not
+ appropriately allocate memory for incoming data, in some cases creating
+ a buffer overflow.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could entice a user to connect to an unofficial LiveJournal
+ server causing Centericq to read specially crafted data from the
+ server, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the
+ rights of the user running Centericq.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ Currently, Centericq is unmaintained. As such, Centericq has been
+ masked in Portage until it is again maintained.
+ </p>
