Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2005:215. The Gaim application is a multi-protocol instant messaging client. Two HTML parsing bugs were discovered in Gaim. It is possible that a remote attacker could send a specially crafted message to a Gaim client, causing it to crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2005-0208 and CVE-2005-0473 to these issues. A bug in the way Gaim processes SNAC packets was discovered. It is possible that a remote attacker could send a specially crafted SNAC packet to a Gaim client, causing the client to stop responding. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-0472 to this issue. Additionally, various client crashes, memory leaks, and protocol issues have been resolved. Users of Gaim are advised to upgrade to this updated package which contains Gaim version 1.1.4 and is not vulnerable to these issues.
