Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:025

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

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.
