    ===========================================================
    Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8-1 October 27, 2004
    gaim vulnerabilities
    CAN-2004-0891
    ===========================================================

    A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

    Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)

    The following packages are affected:

    gaim

    The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
    version 1:1.0.0-1ubuntu1.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is
    sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

    Details follow:

    A buffer overflow and two remote crashes were recently discovered in
    gaim's MSN protocol handler. An attacker could potentially execute
    arbitrary code with the user's privileges by crafting and sending a
    particular MSN message.
