Hi, all.

Although the advisory says any version <= 0.75 is vulnerable, you seem
to convey that the version in stable is not vulnerable?  The last
/usr/share/doc/gaim/changelog.Debian.gz entry reads:

| gaim (1:0.58-2.3) stable-security; urgency=medium
| 
|   * Non-maintainer upload by Security Team
|   * Applied patch from Christopher Blizzard <blizzard@redhat.com> to add a
|     missing malloc() before **argv is actually used.  This was introduced
|     in the security patch and tends to crash Gaim.

I beg for a clarification.
Jan.
