==========================
==========================
=========

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
gaim 1:1.5.0+1.5.1cvs20051015-1ubuntu10.2

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart Gaim to effect
the necessary changes.

Details follow:

It was discovered that Gaim did not properly handle certain malformed
messages when sending a file using the XMPP protocol handler. If a user
were tricked into sending a file, a remote attacker could send a specially
crafted response and cause Gaim to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary
code with user privileges. (CVE-2009-1373)

It was discovered that Gaim did not properly handle certain malformed
messages in the MSN protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a
specially crafted message and possibly execute arbitrary code with user
privileges. (CVE-2009-1376)
