[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2014-05-19 07:38:23 UTC]

A crafted message from the file relay server may cause memory to
beoverwritten. The memory is not overwritten with data sent directly by the
server, but security implications cannot be ruled out.

libgadu-1.11.4 and 1.12.0 are in tree.

=net-libs/libgadu-1.11.4 should be stabilized also because of bug 505558.

Being stabilized as part of bug #505558

CVE-2014-3775 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-3775):
  libgadu before 1.11.4 and 1.12.0 before 1.12.0-rc3, as used in Pidgin and
  other products, allows remote Gadu-Gadu file relay servers to cause a denial
  of service (memory overwrite) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a
  crafted message.
