Multiple vulnerabilities have been addressed in the latest release of
|

Gaim:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul><li>A buffer overread in the gaim_markup_strip_html() function,
|
|
which is used when logging conversations (CAN-2005-0965).</li>
|
|
<li>Markup tags are improperly escaped using Gaim's IRC plugin
|
|
(CAN-2005-0966).</li>
|
|
<li>Sending a specially crafted file transfer request to a Gaim Jabber
|
|
user can trigger a crash (CAN-2005-0967).</li>
|
|
</ul>
