Detail
| A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 12.10 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in Pidgin. Software Description: - pidgin: graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X Details: Chris Wysopal discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled file transfers in the MXit protocol handler. A remote attacker could use this issue to create or overwrite arbitrary files. This issue only affected Ubuntu 11.10, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.10. (CVE-2013-0271) It was discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled long HTTP headers in the MXit protocol handler. A malicious remote server could use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2013-0272) It was discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled long user IDs in the Sametime protocol handler. A malicious remote server could use this issue to cause Pidgin to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2013-0273) It was discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled long strings when processing UPnP responses. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Pidgin to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2013-0274) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 12.10: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: Ubuntu 11.10: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: After a standard system update you need to restart Pidgin to make all the necessary changes.
