CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2005:429

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

A stack based buffer overflow bug was found in the way gaim processes a
message containing a URL. A remote attacker could send a carefully crafted
message resulting in the execution of arbitrary code on a victim’s machine.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2005-1261 to this issue.

A bug was found in the way gaim handles malformed MSN messages. A remote
attacker could send a carefully crafted MSN message causing gaim to crash.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2005-1262 to this issue.

Users of Gaim are advised to upgrade to this updated package which contains
backported patches and is not vulnerable to these issues.
