Overview

Ultramagnetic is a concurrent fork of the Gaim instant messaging software
which adds strong end-to-end encryption and authentication using GnuPG's
libgcrypt and anonymous routing with Hacktivismo's Six/Four protocol.

Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been found in the code
forked from Gaim. Full details are available at this URL:
