Discussion

Ekiga GM_Main_Window_Flash_Message Remote Format String Vulnerability

Ekiga is prone to a remote format-string vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before including it in the format-specifier argument of a formatted-printing function.

A remote attacker may execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the currently logged-in user. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.

This issue affects versions prior to 2.0.5.
