Detail
Problem Description: Updated Pidgin packages that fix a security issue and address a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 RHEL Optional Productivity Applications (v. 5 server) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: Pidgin is a multi-protocol Internet Messaging client. An integer overflow flaw was found in Pidgin's MSN protocol handler. If a user received a malicious MSN message, it was possible to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Pidgin. (CVE-2008-2927) Note: the default Pidgin privacy setting only allows messages from users in the buddy list. This prevents arbitrary MSN users from exploiting this flaw. This update also addresses the following bug: * when attempting to connect to the ICQ network, Pidgin would fail to connect, present an alert saying the "The client version you are using is too old", and de-activate the ICQ account. This update restores Pidgin's ability to connect to the ICQ network. All Pidgin users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 453634 - RHEL5 - Fix ICQ login 453764 - CVE-2008-2927 pidgin MSN integer overflow 453773 - RHEL4 - Fix ICQ login 453774 - RHEL3 - Fix ICQ login |

Title: | DSA-1805-1 pidgin -- several | ||
Description: | Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Pidgin, a graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2009-1373 A buffer overflow in the Jabber file transfer code may lead to denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2009-1375 Memory corruption in an internal library may lead to denial of service. CVE-2009-1376 The patch provided for the security issue tracked as CVE-2008-2927 - integer overflows in the MSN protocol handler - was found to be incomplete. The old stable distribution is affected under the source package name gaim. However, due to build problems the updated packages couldn't be released along with the stable version. It will be released once the build problem is resolved. For the stable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.3-4lenny2. For the unstable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 2.5.6-1. We recommend that you upgrade your pidgin packages. | ||
