Detail
| Product: Solaris 10, OpenSolaris A security vulnerability in the the OSCAR protocol pluginlibrary, the shared library that adds support for various instantmessaging networks to the pidgin(1) Instant Messaging client(previously known as Gaim), may allow remote unprivileged users tocause a Denial of Service (DoS) through an application crash viacrafted contact-list data for (1) ICQ and possibly (2) AIM. This issue is also referenced in the following document: CVE-2009-3615 at: http://www.security-database.com/detail.php?cve=CVE-2009-3615 State: Resolved First released: 10-Nov-2009 |

| Title: | DSA-1932-1 pidgin -- programming error | ||
| Description: | It was discovered that incorrect pointer handling in the purple library, an internal component of the multi-protocol instant messaging client Pidgin, could lead to denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code through malformed contact requests. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.3-4lenny5. For the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.3-1. We recommend that you upgrade your pidgin package. | ||

| Title: | RHSA-2009:1536 -- pidgin security update (Moderate) | ||
| Description: | Updated pidgin packages that fix a security issue 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 an instant messaging program which can log in to multiple accounts on multiple instant messaging networks simultaneously. The AOL Open System for Communication in Realtime (OSCAR) protocol is used by the AOL ICQ and AIM instant messaging systems. An invalid pointer dereference bug was found in the way the Pidgin OSCAR protocol implementation processed lists of contacts. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted contact list to a user running Pidgin, causing Pidgin to crash. (CVE-2009-3615) | ||
