"Versions of Gaim (an AOL instant message client) prior to 0.58 contain
a buffer overflow in the Jabber plug-in module. As well, a
vulnerability was discovered in the URL-handling code, where the
'manual' browser command passes an untrusted string to the shell
without reliable quoting or escaping. This allows an attacker to
execute arbitrary commands on the user's machine with the user's
permissions. Those using the built-in browser commands are not
vulnerable.

Update :

The 8.1 package had an incorrect dependency on perl. This package has
been replaced with a proper package. Please note the differing md5
sums."

"Updated gaim packages are now available for Red Hat Linux Advanced
Server. These updates fix a buffer overflow in the Jabber plug-in
module.

Gaim is an instant messaging client based on the published TOC
protocol from AOL. Versions of gaim prior to 0.58 contain a buffer
overflow in the Jabber plug-in module.

Users of gaim should update to these errata packages containing gaim
0.59 which is not vulnerable to this issue.

Please note that gaim version 0.57 had an additional security problem
which has been fixed in version 0.58 (CVE-2002-0377); however, Red Hat
Linux Advanced Server did not ship with version 0.57 and was not
vulnerable to this issue.

[update 14 Aug 2002] Previous packages pushed were not signed, this
update replaces the packages with signed versions"
