Package: gaim-encryption
Version: 2.38-1
Severity: normal

When an ICQ Buddy sends a special message the application crashes.
I've found the problem when i just clicked on the encryption button in
the IM-Window. The other person didn't know what to do with the message
since it is used for GAIM to GAIM encryption and just sent it 
back (copy and paste). Then my GAIM application crashed.
This is reproducable even with other people's clients.
The Message you need to send is:

*** Encrypted with the Gaim-Encryption plugin <A HREF=": Key: Prot NSS
1.0: Len 249

It does not work, when you send it from inside GAIM, but when you send
it from licq it works.
I think this is a serious bug. Maybe even a security hole.
