PACKAGE   : licq
SUMMARY   : Remote command execution
DATE      : 2001-03-27 14:16:00
ID        : CLA-2001:389

DESCRIPTION
 "licq" is a very popular ICQ graphical client.
 Previous versions have two vulnerabilities that could be exploited by
 a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the client host.
 The first vulnerability is a buffer overflow in a log function.
 The second vulnerability consists in the use of the system() function
 to invoke an external browser when an URL is received. This function
 will expand and interpret shell characters and this could be used to
 execute commands on behalf of the user running licq.


SOLUTION
 It is recommended that all licq users install the update for their
 specific version of the distribution.
