Detail
| A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 11.04 - Ubuntu 10.10 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Summary: Pidgin could be made to crash if it received specially crafted network traffic. Software Description: - pidgin: multi-protocol instant messaging client Details: Marius Wachtler discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled malformed YMSG messages in the Yahoo! protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted message and cause Pidgin to crash, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and 10.10. (CVE-2011-1091) Marius Wachtler discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled HTTP 100 responses in the MSN protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted message and cause Pidgin to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-3184) Diego Bauche Madero discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled UTF-8 sequences in the SILC protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted message and cause Pidgin to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-3594) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 11.04: Ubuntu 10.10: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: After a standard system update you need to restart Pidgin to make all the necessary changes.
