+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Pidgin is a client for a variety of instant messaging protocols.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities were found in Pidgin:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Yuriy
+ Kaminskiy reported that the OSCAR protocol implementation in Pidgin
+ misinterprets the ICQWebMessage message type as the ICQSMS message
+ type, triggering an allocation of a large amount of memory
+ (CVE-2009-1889).</li>
+ <li>Federico Muttis of Core Security Technologies
+ reported that the msn_slplink_process_msg() function in
+ libpurple/protocols/msn/slplink.c in libpurple as used in Pidgin
+ doesn't properly process incoming SLP messages, triggering an overwrite
+ of an arbitrary memory location (CVE-2009-2694). NOTE: This issue
+ reportedly exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2009-1376 (GLSA
+ 200905-07).</li>
+ <li>bugdave reported that protocols/jabber/auth.c in
+ libpurple as used in Pidgin does not follow the "require TSL/SSL"
+ preference when connecting to older Jabber servers that do not follow
+ the XMPP specification, resulting in a connection to the server without
+ the expected encryption (CVE-2009-3026).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send specially crafted SLP (via MSN) or ICQ web
+ messages, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the user running Pidgin, unauthorized information
+ disclosure, or a Denial of Service.
+ </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-2.5.9-r1"</code>
+ </resolution>
