CVE-2010-0277 pidgin MSN protocol plugin memory corruption
CVE-2010-0420 pidgin: Finch XMPP MUC Crash
CVE-2010-0423 pidgin: Smiley Denial of Service
An input sanitization flaw was found in the way Pidginβs MSN protocol implementation handled MSNSLP invitations. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted INVITE request that would cause a denial of service (memory corruption and Pidgin crash). (CVE-2010-0277)
A denial of service flaw was found in Finchβs XMPP chat implementation, when using multi-user chat. If a Finch user in a multi-user chat session were to change their nickname to contain the HTML βbrβ element, it would cause Finch to crash. (CVE-2010-0420)
A denial of service flaw was found in the way Pidgin processed emoticon images. A remote attacker could flood the victim with emoticon images during mutual communication, leading to excessive CPU use. (CVE-2010-0423)
Pidgin must be restarted for this update to take effect.
