Hello,

there was a problem with the GAIM patch that was linked from my advisory
and is most probably part of the already released packages.

The old version of the patch lacked a variable increment, that eventually
creates a very long loop followed by a crash on malformed yahoo packets.

This problem was reported by: Joseph Martin

Cheers,
Stefan Esser
