12 GAIM Remote Overflows
Haven't seen this posted yet, but it seems fairly serious:
http://archives.neohapsis.com/archiv...4-01/0994.html
Application: Gaim <= 0.75
Severity: 12 vulnerabilities were found in the instant
messenger GAIM that allow remote compromise
Risk: Critical
Vendor Status: Vendor has fixed in CVS, but feels not ready for
release because of problems with HEAD
Reference: http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/012004.html
No corrected versions (> 0.75) available right now...
/nebulus
There is only one constant, one universal, it is the only real truth: causality. Action. Reaction. Cause and effect...There is no escape from it, we are forever slaves to it. Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it, to understand the 'why'. 'Why' is what separates us from them, you from me. 'Why' is the only real social power, without it you are powerless.

Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

From gaim.sourceforge.net
January 28th, 2004 - 1:51PM EST Security vulnerabilities
On Monday, several potential security vulnerabilities in Gaim 0.75 (and previous versions) were publicly disclosed by Stefan Esser. Due to problems with current Gaim CVS (Yahoo! still not working properly being the most influential) we are not yet ready to release 0.76. You are encouraged to get and apply this patch from the FreeBSD security team, released with the disclosure.

Probably should have phrased that a little better. There are source code fixes, but since I use the windows client...
