Luke: Another Bug fix release. This one featuring a fix to the HTTP
Method for MSN users and other MSN fixes. A big thanks to Stu and
Felipe Contreras for those. Stu also spent a long time in valgrind
and so this brings you a Gaim release with fewer memory leaks. This
release is on time primarily because I want to see the MSN fixes
make it into Debian and Fedora before freezes. Expect further bug
fix only releases to come at longer intervals, at Mark's request.
Daniel: This is my first NEWS! (YaY) I didn't really do too much for
this release. There are a few bugfixes, mostly wingaim stuff. Oh, and
I like the new XP System Tray icons.
Sean: I'm down here today. I haven't really been paying too much
attention to these boring bugfix releases, but I'd like to thank
David and welcome him to the team. I'd also like to thank Steven
and Nathan from Silverorange who redid the webpage.
Tim: Another bug fix release. I didn't really fix any bugs, so
I didn't exactly do much for this one. The autopackage will now
work with mozilla-nss, if anyone has that, and not gnutls11. (It
works with either gnutls11 or mozilla-nss, but not gnutls10)
I started working on Gaim-vv again though, and I merged someone's
custom msn smiley patch into the 2.0.0 tree, so expect good things
whenever that's released (no, don't try it now, you won't like it).
Oh and welcome to the team Daniel. Of course, he was already on my
Gaim-vv team.
Stu: Welcome Daniel! you've done some good stuff already. Felipe did some
good work on MSN yet again, so you can all use the HTTP method now. I
didn't do all that much, other than let valgrind tell me what to fix, and
a couple of easy bug fixes from the bug tracker. Hopefully Ethan will get
well soon, so he can get back to merging patches and fixing things.
Nathan: I think I made some Jabber fixes, at least one of which is
ChangeLog'd. I will continue to make empty promises about new features,
especially for 2.0.0. Until then, welcome Daniel!

The 12 identified problems range from simple standard stack overflows, over heap overflows to an integer overflow that can be abused to cause a heap overflow. Due to the nature of instant messaging some of these bugs require man-in-the-middle attacks between client and server. But the underlying protocols are easy to implement and MIM attacks on ordinary TCP sessions is afairly simple task.
Please see http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/012004.html
for more details.

team) and bump PKGREVISION to 1.
