"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."

This problem has been fixed in version 0.58-2.2 for the current stable
distribution (woody) and in version 0.59.1-2 for the unstable
distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato) is not
affected since it doesn't ship the Gaim program.

The fixed version of Gaim no longer passes the user's manual browser
command to the shell. Commands which contain the %s in quotes will
need to be amended, so they don't contain any quotes. The 'Manual'
browser command can be edited in the 'General' pane of the
'Preferences' dialog, which can be accessed by clicking 'Options' from
the login window, or 'Tools' and then 'Preferences' from the menu bar
in the buddy list window."
