DESCRIPTION:
Andrea Micalizzi has discovered a security issue in Google Talk,
which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive
information.

The security issue is caused due to the application insecurely
processing the data supplied via the "gtalk://" URI and can be
exploited to redirect authentication requests in the clear text to an
attacker chosen server.

Successful exploitation requires that a localised version is
installed without uninstalling the non-localised version.

The security issue is confirmed in version 1.0.5. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Follow proper uninstallation procedures before installing the
localised version.
