Details
A buffer overflow and two remote crashes were recently discovered in
gaim's MSN protocol handler. An attacker could potentially execute
arbitrary code with the user's privileges by crafting and sending a
particular MSN message.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 4.10

gaim

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
