Pierre Nogues discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled malformed SLP messages in the MSN protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted message and cause Pidgin to crash, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, 9.10 and 10.04 LTS. (CVE-2010-1624)

Daniel Atallah discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled the return code of the Base64 decoding function. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted message and cause Pidgin to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3711).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
