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.

defeating that purpose, use control c to pop up the colour picker
instead. I'm not sure exactly when the gaim people changed this
(somewhere between 0.59.1 and 0.59.3), but I think it's rather ill
advised.
0.59.3 (09/14/2002):
Rob: This really has been made a little early. Of course, we figured
that some of you may like to connect to Yahoo. Sorry about that
little blunder. I blame it on George.
Sean: That was just a silly mistake--there's no need to make George
feel bad! There's also some nice i18n fixes in there by Matt Wilson
from RedHat.
George: Why doesn't anybody love me?
0.59.2 (09/09/2002):
Rob: This time Sean couldn't be with us. I finally got my linux box
some what back in order. Life has been extremely hectic for both Sean
and myself lately, I think. Sean will have his cable connection soon
and my linux box should be completely happy again soon. Thanks to
everyone that kept the patches coming in and organized while we
were busy (chip, luke, robot, etc.)
