 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2009:025
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : pidgin
 Date    : January 22, 2009
 Affected: 2008.1
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 The NSS plugin in libpurple in Pidgin 2.4.1 does not verify SSL
 certificates, which makes it easier for remote attackers to trick
 a user into accepting an invalid server certificate for a spoofed
 service. (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.
