Two denial of service problems have been discovered in Gaim, a multi-protocol instant messaging client. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  • CAN-2005-1269 A malformed Yahoo filename can result in a crash of the application.

  • CAN-2005-1934

    A malformed MSN message can lead to incorrect memory allocation resulting in a crash of the application.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not seem to be affected.
