medium Nessus Plugin ID 21383

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The GAIM team reports :

A remote user could cause Gaim to crash on some systems by sending the Gaim user a file whose filename contains certain invalid characters.
It is unknown what combination of systems are affected, but it is suspected that Windows users and systems with older versions of GTK+ are especially susceptible.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
