Detail
| Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in pidgin: The pidgin_conv_chat_rename_user function in gtkconv.c in Pidgin before 2.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) by changing a nickname while in an XMPP chat room (CVE-2011-4939). The msn_oim_report_to_user function in oim.c in the MSN protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.2 allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an OIM message that lacks UTF-8 encoding (CVE-2012-1178). This update provides pidgin 2.10.2, which is not vulnerable to these issues. |
