Stefan Esser of e-matters found almost a dozen remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in Gaim. From the e-matters advisory:
While developing a custom add-on, an integer overflow in the handling of AIM DirectIM packets was revealed that could lead to a remote compromise of the IM client. After disclosing this bug to the vendor, they had to make a hurried release because of a change in the Yahoo connection procedure that rendered GAIM useless.
