Topic

Updated gaim packages that fix multiple bugs and enhance security are now
available.

Description

The Gaim application is a multi-protocol instant messaging client.

This update enables the compiler options FORTIFY_SOURCE and relro. A
combination of these enhances the runtime security of the gaim application.

Users of the AIM/ICQ protocol may be seeing frequent "Rate Limit" errors
during program runtime. This update fixes this issue and numerous other
crash and behavior issues.

Users of gaim should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these
issues.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,

RPMs being upgraded on your system.
