A buffer overflow and two remote crashes were recently discovered in gaim’s MSN protocol handler. An attacker could potentially execute arbitrary code with the user’s privileges by crafting and sending a particular MSN message.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
