This can not be exploited on the x86 architecture but on others, e.g. on Sparc and lead to a bus error, in other words a denial of service.
The old stable distribution (woody) does not seem to be affected by this problem.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.1-1.4.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your gaim package.");
