| Title: | RHSA-2008:1023 -- pidgin security and bug fix update (Moderate) | ||
| Description: | Updated Pidgin packages that fix several security issues and bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. Pidgin is a multi-protocol Internet Messaging client. A denial-of-service flaw was found in Pidgin's MSN protocol handler. If a remote user was able to send, and the Pidgin user accepted, a carefully-crafted file request, it could result in Pidgin crashing. (CVE-2008-2955) | ||
