The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 / 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2008:1023 advisory.
pidgin: remote DoS via MSN message with crafted file name (CVE-2008-2955)
pidgin: unrestricted download of arbitrary files triggered via UPnP (CVE-2008-2957)
pidgin: NSS plugin doesn’t verify SSL certificates (CVE-2008-3532)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
