(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. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2955 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2957 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3532 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2008.1: 8d986cf90ce366f40da1ed22f99227e2 2008.1/i586/finch-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.i586.rpm 1591abeaedbde92f9e851fc163ecbc14 2008.1/i586/libfinch0-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.i586.rpm 81b2f07e1a3e82683dd761e913630ae8 2008.1/i586/libpurple0-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.i586.rpm bc958e4178ea9037b2faef5e46fdc367 2008.1/i586/libpurple-devel-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.i586.rpm 9ad56f8214068aa578c74de4476b6a21 2008.1/i586/pidgin-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.i586.rpm 97e7beb6d69c8cd48427845537cd7092 2008.1/i586/pidgin-bonjour-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.i586.rpm 4bc7839dba2efbe27fb814be39c0e2d3 2008.1/i586/pidgin-client-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.i586.rpm 551a0888b40c5b234f14d9814a9249d2 2008.1/i586/pidgin-gevolution-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.i586.rpm 86ccded472fa0974e1a28be7d559ff4a 2008.1/i586/pidgin-i18n-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.i586.rpm 37869e45dee88264c183faf4f4ad5140 2008.1/i586/pidgin-meanwhile-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.i586.rpm 0c424324da44beb62b61243106fc3599 2008.1/i586/pidgin-mono-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.i586.rpm c61e9c1cd651abcc805970df7dcae18a 2008.1/i586/pidgin-perl-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.i586.rpm fbc16077149cff9111bda6ada529ef5f 2008.1/i586/pidgin-silc-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.i586.rpm f97215d6643336a155e298a404386d7e 2008.1/i586/pidgin-tcl-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.i586.rpm a7816e51fd0c35798accad228aa67be9 2008.1/SRPMS/pidgin-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2008.1/X86_64: 63ba74e6aeae1f940cdd4b5d6af3128b 2008.1/x86_64/finch-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm c9cbed1c7267fd449e6c26ad8454e438 2008.1/x86_64/lib64finch0-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm 739eeb3e632023f89acd9e4baf826590 2008.1/x86_64/lib64purple0-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm e63ce782ee2e8b9e157fa85ccd7f4511 2008.1/x86_64/lib64purple-devel-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm e80d06d3e544b29f406c291a23b005b8 2008.1/x86_64/pidgin-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm 5aa3f2383fd83b025efa28bf9b6d817d 2008.1/x86_64/pidgin-bonjour-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm cea0458cbf8fb2e16131e33a7f1e2587 2008.1/x86_64/pidgin-client-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm 54327daad8ed2658fe9c9bbe8482f388 2008.1/x86_64/pidgin-gevolution-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm 08d375b245f16b41077e6e9baf82c6df 2008.1/x86_64/pidgin-i18n-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm 536edfbb015f173dcc09a7c4481b20cd 2008.1/x86_64/pidgin-meanwhile-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm 6747c3d56d317d3733bea26a2d18fe9a 2008.1/x86_64/pidgin-mono-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm ae3767379a0ccbcc577d8521fbed8432 2008.1/x86_64/pidgin-perl-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm 5e8b1bfd757e596536e0c0fa8f680aea 2008.1/x86_64/pidgin-silc-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm 9b2f9b0732f14981423f57454e68b3b1 2008.1/x86_64/pidgin-tcl-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm a7816e51fd0c35798accad228aa67be9 2008.1/SRPMS/pidgin-2.4.1-2.3mdv2008.1.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
