Chris Wysopal discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled file transfers in the MXit protocol handler. A remote attacker could use this issue to create or overwrite arbitrary files. This issue only affected Ubuntu 11.10, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.10.
(CVE-2013-0271)

It was discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled long HTTP headers in the MXit protocol handler. A malicious remote server could use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2013-0272)

It was discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled long user IDs in the Sametime protocol handler. A malicious remote server could use this issue to cause Pidgin to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2013-0273)

It was discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled long strings when processing UPnP responses. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Pidgin to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2013-0274).

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.
