Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-139-1 (gaim)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to gaim
announced via advisory USN-139-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)

The following packages are affected: gaim

A remote Denial of Service vulnerability was discovered in Gaim. By
initiating a file transfer with a file name containing certain
international characters (like an accented a), a remote attacker
could crash the Gaim client of an arbitrary Yahoo IM member.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 1:1.0.0-1ubuntu1.5 (for Ubuntu 4.10) and 1:1.1.4-1ubuntu4.2
(for Ubuntu 5.04). In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
