23 | Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Pidgin, allowing for |
24 | remote arbitrary code execution, Denial of Service and service spoofing. |

39 | <p> |
40 | Pidgin (formerly Gaim) is an instant messaging client for a variety of |
41 | instant messaging protocols. It is based on the libpurple instant |
42 | messaging library. |
43 | </p> |
44 | </background> |
45 | <description> |
46 | <p> |
47 | Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Pidgin and the |
48 | libpurple library: |
49 | </p> |
50 | <ul><li> |
51 | A participant to the TippingPoint ZDI reported multiple integer |
52 | overflows in the msn_slplink_process_msg() function in the MSN protocol |
53 | implementation (CVE-2008-2927). |
54 | </li> |
55 | <li> |
56 | Juan Pablo Lopez Yacubian is credited for reporting a use-after-free |
57 | flaw in msn_slplink_process_msg() in the MSN protocol implementation |
58 | (CVE-2008-2955). |
59 | </li> |
60 | <li> |
61 | The included UPnP server does not limit the size of data to be |
62 | downloaded for UPnP service discovery, according to a report by Andrew |
63 | Hunt and Christian Grothoff (CVE-2008-2957). |
64 | </li> |
65 | <li> |
66 | Josh Triplett discovered that the NSS plugin for libpurple does not |
67 | properly verify SSL certificates (CVE-2008-3532). |
68 | </li> |
69 | </ul> |
70 | </description> |
71 | <impact type="normal"> |
72 | <p> |
73 | A remote attacker could send specially crafted messages or files using |
74 | the MSN protocol which could result in the execution of arbitrary code |
75 | or crash Pidgin. NOTE: Successful exploitation might require the |
76 | victim's interaction. Furthermore, an attacker could conduct |
77 | man-in-the-middle attacks to obtain sensitive information using bad |
78 | certificates and cause memory and disk resources to exhaust. |
79 | </p> |
80 | </impact> |
81 | <workaround> |
82 | <p> |
83 | There is no known workaround at this time. |
84 | </p> |
85 | </workaround> |
86 | <resolution> |
87 | <p> |
88 | All Pidgin users should upgrade to the latest version: |
89 | </p> |
90 | <code> |
91 | # emerge --sync |
92 | # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-im/pidgin-2.5.1"</code> |
93 | </resolution> |
