Description

gTalk contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate 'mailto:' and 'http:' autolinks upon submission to Message Body. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted Message Body that would execute arbitrary code in a user's gTalk within the trust relationship between the client and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
