Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Gajim. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted link using Gajim, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker could use a specially crafted Jabber ID, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary SQL statements.
A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running the application.
