+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Pidgin (formerly Gaim) is an instant messaging client for a variety of
+ instant messaging protocols. It is based on the libpurple instant
+ messaging library.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Pidgin and the
+ libpurple library:
+ </p>
+ <ul><li>
+ A participant to the TippingPoint ZDI reported multiple integer
+ overflows in the msn_slplink_process_msg() function in the MSN protocol
+ implementation (CVE-2008-2927).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Juan Pablo Lopez Yacubian is credited for reporting a use-after-free
+ flaw in msn_slplink_process_msg() in the MSN protocol implementation
+ (CVE-2008-2955).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The included UPnP server does not limit the size of data to be
+ downloaded for UPnP service discovery, according to a report by Andrew
+ Hunt and Christian Grothoff (CVE-2008-2957).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Josh Triplett discovered that the NSS plugin for libpurple does not
+ properly verify SSL certificates (CVE-2008-3532).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send specially crafted messages or files using
+ the MSN protocol which could result in the execution of arbitrary code
+ or crash Pidgin. NOTE: Successful exploitation might require the
+ victim's interaction. Furthermore, an attacker could conduct
+ man-in-the-middle attacks to obtain sensitive information using bad
+ certificates and cause memory and disk resources to exhaust.
+ </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-2.5.1"</code>
+ </resolution>
