The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200504-05 (Gaim: Denial of Service issues)
Multiple vulnerabilities have been addressed in the latest release of Gaim:
A buffer overread in the gaim_markup_strip_html() function, which is used when logging conversations (CAN-2005-0965).
Markup tags are improperly escaped using Gaim's IRC plugin (CAN-2005-0966).
Sending a specially crafted file transfer request to a Gaim Jabber user can trigger a crash (CAN-2005-0967).
Impact :
An attacker could possibly cause a Denial of Service by exploiting any of these vulnerabilities.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
