Detail
| Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Pidgin, a multi-protocol instant messaging client: CVE-2014-3694 It was discovered that the SSL/TLS plugins failed to validate the basic constraints extension in intermediate CA certificates. CVE-2014-3695 Yves Younan and Richard Johnson discovered that emotictons with overly large length values could crash Pidgin. CVE-2014-3696 Yves Younan and Richard Johnson discovered that malformed Groupwise messages could crash Pidgin. CVE-2014-3698 Thijs Alkemade and Paul Aurich discovered that malformed XMPP messages could result in memory disclosure. For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 2.10.10-1~deb7u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 2.10.10-1. We recommend that you upgrade your pidgin packages. |

| Title: | USN-2390-1 -- Pidgin vulnerabilities | ||
| Description: | Jacob Appelbaum and an anonymous person discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled certificate validation. A remote attacker could exploit this to perform a man in the middle attack to view sensitive information or alter encrypted communications. (<a href="http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/CVE-2014-3694">CVE-2014-3694</a>) Yves Younan and Richard Johnson discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled certain malformed MXit emoticons. A malicious remote server or a man in the middle could use this issue to cause Pidgin to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (<a href="http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/CVE-2014-3695">CVE-2014-3695</a>) Yves Younan and Richard Johnson discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled certain malformed Groupwise messages. A malicious remote server or a man in the middle could use this issue to cause Pidgin to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (<a href="http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/CVE-2014-3696">CVE-2014-3696</a>) Thijs Alkemade and Paul Aurich discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled memory when processing XMPP messages. A malicious remote server or user could use this issue to cause Pidgin to disclosure arbitrary memory, resulting in an information leak.
