+ 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>
