A remote attacker could exploit this to crash Gaim by sending specially crafted file transfers to the user. (CAN-2005-0967) Stu Tomlinson discovered an insufficient bounds checking flaw in the URL parser. By sending a message containing a very long URL, a remote attacker could crash Gaim or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user.
