+ <p>
+ Pidgin (formerly Gaim) is an instant messaging client for a variety of
+ instant messaging protocols.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Pidgin:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Veracode reported a boundary error in the "XMPP SOCKS5 bytestream
+ server" when initiating an outgoing file transfer (CVE-2009-1373).</li>
+ <li>Ka-Hing Cheung reported a heap corruption flaw in the QQ protocol
+ handler (CVE-2009-1374).</li>
+ <li>A memory corruption flaw in
+ "PurpleCircBuffer" was disclosed by Josef Andrysek
+ (CVE-2009-1375).</li>
+ <li>The previous fix for CVE-2008-2927 contains a
+ cast from uint64 to size_t, possibly leading to an integer overflow
+ (CVE-2009-1376, GLSA 200901-13).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send specially crafted messages or files using
+ the MSN, XMPP or QQ protocols, possibly resulting in the execution of
+ arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application,
+ or a Denial of Service. NOTE: Successful exploitation might require the
+ victim's interaction.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Pidgin users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-im/pidgin-2.5.6"</code>
+ </resolution>
