Description Josh Bressers 2005-04-04 18:32:26 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #153311 +++

Two Gaim DoS issues were reported to bugtraq:
http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/394806/2005-04-01/2005-04-07/0

1. Buffer overread in gaim_markup_strip_html()

A programming error in gaim_markup_strip_html() causes a buffer
overread when stripping a string containing malformed HTML.

2. Lack of escaping in the IRC protocol plugin

In several places, the IRC protocol plugin handles user messages
without escaping markup
