(GAIM 0.75 Remote overflows)

    Yahoo changed the authentication methods to their IM servers,
    rendering GAIM useless. The GAIM team released a rushed release
    solving this issue, however, at the same time a code audit
    revealed 12 new vulnerabilities.
  
Impact :

    Due to the nature of instant messaging many of these bugs require
    man-in-the-middle attacks between the client and the server. But
    the underlying protocols are easy to implement and attacking
    ordinary TCP sessions is a fairly simple task. As a result, all
    users are advised to upgrade their GAIM installation.
        Users of GAIM 0.74 or below are affected by 7 of the
        vulnerabilities and are encouraged to upgrade.
        Users of GAIM 0.75 are affected by 11 of the vulnerabilities
        and are encouraged to upgrade to the patched version of GAIM
        offered by Gentoo.
        Users of GAIM 0.75-r6 are only affected by
        4 of the vulnerabilities, but are still urged to upgrade to
        maintain security.
  
Workaround :

    There is no immediate workaround; a software upgrade is required."
