This announcement fixes three denial of service vulnerabilities that
were encountered in Gaim.
The fixed vulnerabilities are:
CAN-2005-0472[2]: Gaim before 1.1.3 allows remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (infinite loop) via malformed SNAC packets from
AIM or ICQ.
CAN-2005-0473[3]: The HTML parsing functions in Gaim before 1.1.3
allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application
crash) via malformed HTML that causes an invalid memory access.
CAN-2005-0208[4]: The HTML parsing functions in Gaim before 1.1.4
allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application
crash) via malformed HTML that causes an invalid memory access. This
vulnerabity is diferent from CAN-2005-0473.
For further informations on Gaim's vulnerabilities, please refer to
the project's security page[5].

the vulnerabilities.
