Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:025

_______________________________________________________________________
Package : pidgin
Date : January 22, 2009
Affected: 2008.1
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
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.
