Slackware 10.0 / 9.1 / current : gaim updated again (SSA:2004-240-01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 18748

Synopsis

The remote Slackware host is missing a security update.

Description

A couple of bugs were found in the gaim 0.82 release, and gaim-0.82.1 was released to fix them. In addition, gaim-encryption-2.29 did not work with gaim-0.82 due to changes in the header files, so the gaim-encryption plugin has also been updated to gaim-encryption-2.30.

Solution

Update the affected gaim package.
