Markus Vervier of X41 D-Sec GmbH discovered an integer overflow vulnerability in libotr, an off-the-record messaging library, in the way how the sizes of portions of incoming messages were stored. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw by sending crafted messages to an application that is using libotr to perform denial of service attacks , or potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
