centerim bundles libgadu

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #244888 +++

CVE-2008-4776 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-4776):
  libgadu before 1.8.2 allows remote servers to cause a denial of
  service (crash) via a contact description with a large length, which
  triggers a buffer over-read.
