Stefan Esser found[1] several remote vulnerabilities in Gaim. A remote attacker can use specially crafted network packets to exploit at least one of these vulnerabilities and execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the program or cause a denial of service condition. This update includes updated packages for Conectiva Linux 8 (Gaim 0.58.8) and Conectiva Linux 9 (Gaim 0.75). The vulnerabilities vary accordingly to the version used, but both are susceptible to remote attacks. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2004-0005, CAN-2004-0006, CAN-2004-0007 and CAN-2004-0008 to the issues discovered[2,3,4,5]. SOLUTION All gaim users should upgrade.
