- The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2002:054-1 (gaim).

-
- Versions of Gaim (an AOL instant message client) prior to 0.58 contain a buffer
- overflow in the Jabber plug-in module. As well, a vulnerability was discovered
- in the URL-handling code, where the 'manual' browser command passes an untrusted
- string to the shell without reliable quoting or escaping. This allows an
- attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the user's machine with the user's
- permissions. Those using the built-in browser commands are not vulnerable.
- Update:
- The 8.1 package had an incorrect dependency on perl. This package has been
- replaced with a proper package. Please note the differing md5 sums.
