Detail
| The NSS plugin in libpurple in Pidgin 2.4.1 does not verify SSL certificates, which makes it easier for remote attackers to trick a user into accepting an invalid server certificate for a spoofed service. (CVE-2008-3532) Pidgin 2.4.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long filename that contains certain characters, as demonstrated using an MSN message that triggers the crash in the msn_slplink_process_msg function. (CVE-2008-2955) The UPnP functionality in Pidgin 2.0.0, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to trigger the download of arbitrary files and cause a denial of service (memory or disk consumption) via a UDP packet that specifies an arbitrary URL. (CVE-2008-2957) The updated packages have been patched to fix these issues. |

| 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) | ||
