Description:
Two weaknesses have been reported in Gaim, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) An error within the parsing of received SNAC packets can be exploited to cause a user's Gaim application to become unresponsive when receiving specially crafted packets.
2) An error within the processing of HTML can be exploited to crash the application when receiving specially crafted HTML.
