The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200408-27 (Gaim: New vulnerabilities)

Gaim fails to do proper bounds checking when:
Handling MSN messages (partially fixed with GLSA 200408-12).
Handling rich text format messages.
Resolving local hostname.
Receiving long URLs.
Handling groupware messages.
Allocating memory for webpages with fake content-length     header.
Furthermore Gaim fails to escape filenames when using drag and drop     installation of smiley themes.

Impact :

These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to crash Gaim or execute     arbitrary code or commands with the permissions of the user running     Gaim.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to     upgrade to the latest available version of Gaim.
