Make sure that your mozilla-nss and mozilla-nspr (or is it mozilla-nss-devel and mozilla-nspr-devel ?) packages are up to date -- all available via yum and currently at version 1.7.12-1.5.2. I am not sure of the security history of gaim-encryption, so I avoid using it for things such as discussing passwords and such with clients (still best done over the phone or encrypted with gpg/pgp in my opinion), but I am guessing it provides a reasonable amount of privacy/security.
