The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:

Details follow:
It was discovered that the Gadu library, used by some Instant Messaging
clients, did not correctly verify certain packet sizes from the server.
If a user connected to a malicious server, clients using Gadu could be
made to crash, leading to a denial of service.
