- Comments
- Cox> Although the 0.59.1 version of Gaim shipped by Red Hat contained these | flaws, Yahoo connections were not functional and therefore the majority of | the issues could not be exploited, leading to the abstraction comment above. | Christey> CERT-VN:VU#871838 | URL:http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/871838 | CERT-VN:VU#444158 | URL:http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/444158 | CERT-VN:VU#503030 | URL:http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/503030 | CERT-VN:VU#371382 | URL:http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/371382 | CERT-VN:VU#297198 | URL:http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/297198 | CERT-VN:VU#527142 | URL:http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/527142 | Christey> Normalize Gentoo reference
