[Backports-security-announce] Security Update for pidgin

Gerfried Fuchs uploaded new packages for pidgin which fixed the
following security problem:

CVE-2008-2957, Debian Bug #488632

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.

For the etch-backports distribution the problem has been fixed in
version 2.4.3-4~bpo40+1

For the lenny and sid distributions the problem has been fixed in
version 2.4.3-4.

Upgrade instructions

If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the packages
manually via "apt-get -t etch-backports install <packagelist>" with the
packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.

of installed backports will be installed automatically:
