+ 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>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="low">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could possibly cause a Denial of Service by exploiting any
+ of these vulnerabilities.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>

+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-im/gaim-1.2.1&quot;</code>
