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.
