| Summary | MSN strncpy buffer overflow |
|---|---|
| Date | 2004-08-22 |
| CVE Number | CVE-2004-0500 |
| Discovered By | Sebastian Krahmer, SUSE Security Team |
| Fixed In Release | 0.82 |
In two places in the MSN protocol plugins (object.c and slp.c), strncpy
was used incorrectly. The size of the array was not checked before copying to
it. Both bugs affect MSN’s MSNSLP protocol, which is peer-to-peer, so this
could potentially be easy to exploit.
Bounds checking was added in both places.
