Description :
Gaim is a clone of America Online's Instant Messenger client. It
features nearly all of the functionality of the official AIM client
while also being smaller, faster, and commercial-free.

Update Information:

An updated gaim package that fixes security issues and various bugs is
now avaliable.

The gaim application is a multi-protocol instant messaging client.

A buffer overflow has been discovered in the MSN protocol handler. When
receiving unexpected sequence of MSNSLP messages, it is possible that an
attacker could cause an internal buffer overflow, leading to a crash or
possible code execution. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0891 to this
issue.

This updated gaim package also fixes multiple user interface, protocol,
and error handling problems, including an ICQ communication encoding
issue.

All users of gaim should upgrade to this updated package which is not
vulnerable to this issue.
