**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Gaim version 1.1.3 **Description** The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a client crash, by initiating a file transfer with a filename containing `(` or `)` characters. **Recommendations** For Gaim version 1.1.3, consider avoiding file transfers with filenames containing special characters such as `(` or `)` until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict file transfer operations to minimize the risk of exploitation.
