+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Gaim fails to do proper bounds checking when:
+    </p>
+    <ul>
+    <li>Handling MSN messages (partially fixed with GLSA 200408-12).</li>
+    <li>Handling rich text format messages.</li>
+    <li>Resolving local hostname.</li>
+    <li>Receiving long URLs.</li>
+    <li>Handling groupware messages.</li>
+    <li>Allocating memory for webpages with fake content-length
+    header.</li>
+    </ul>
+    <p>
+    Furthermore Gaim fails to escape filenames when using drag and drop
+    installation of smiley themes.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to crash Gaim or execute
+    arbitrary code or commands with the permissions of the user running
+    Gaim.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
+    upgrade to the latest available version of Gaim.

+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
