"It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle certain topic
messages in the IRC protocol handler. If a user were tricked into
connecting to a malicious IRC server, an attacker could cause Pidgin
to crash, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu 9.04. (CVE-2009-2703)

It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly enforce the 'require
TLS/SSL' setting when connecting to certain older Jabber servers. If a
remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this
flaw could be exploited to view sensitive information. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu 9.04. (CVE-2009-3026)

It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle certain SLP
invite messages in the MSN protocol handler. A remote attacker could
send a specially crafted invite message and cause Pidgin to crash,
leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04
LTS, Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu 9.04. (CVE-2009-3083)

It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle certain errors
in the XMPP 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 8.10 and Ubuntu 9.04.
(CVE-2009-3085)

It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle malformed
contact-list data in the OSCAR protocol handler. A remote attacker
could send specially crafted contact-list data and cause Pidgin to
crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2009-3615)

It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle custom smiley
requests in the MSN protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a
specially crafted filename in a custom smiley request and obtain
arbitrary files via directory traversal. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 8.10, Ubuntu 9.04 and Ubuntu 9.10. (CVE-2010-0013)

Pidgin for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS was also updated to fix connection issues
with the MSN protocol.

USN-675-1 and USN-781-1 provided updated Pidgin packages to fix
multiple security vulnerabilities in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. The security
patches to fix CVE-2008-2955 and CVE-2009-1376 were incomplete. This
update corrects the problem. 

It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle file transfers
containing a long filename and special characters in the MSN protocol
handler. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted filename in
a file transfer request and cause Pidgin to crash, leading to a denial
of service. (CVE-2008-2955)

It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle
certain malformed messages in the MSN protocol handler. A
remote attacker could send a specially crafted message and
possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
(CVE-2009-1376).

description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
