Impact |
41 |
====== |
42 |
|
43 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted link |
44 |
using Gajim, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the |
45 |
privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. |
46 |
Furthermore, a remote attacker could use a specially crafted Jabber ID, |
47 |
possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary SQL statements. |
48 |
|
49 |
A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary |
50 |
files with the privileges of the user running the application. |
51 |
|
