Multiple security holes were found in gaim:

CVE-2005-2102

  The AIM/ICQ module in Gaim allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
  service (application crash) via a filename that contains invalid UTF-8
  characters.

CVE-2005-2370

  Multiple memory alignment errors in libgadu, as used in gaim and other
  packages, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (bus error)
  on certain architectures such as SPARC via an incoming message.

CVE-2005-2103

  Buffer overflow in the AIM and ICQ module in Gaim allows remote attackers
  to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute
  arbitrary code via an away message with a large number of AIM substitution
  strings, such as %t or %n.
