Fabian Yamaguchi discovered that Pidgin incorrectly validated all fields of an incoming message 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. (CVE-2010-0277)

Sadrul Habib Chowdhury discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled certain nicknames in Finch group chat rooms. A remote attacker could use a specially crafted nickname and cause Pidgin to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-0420)

Antti Hayrynen discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled large numbers of smileys. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted message and cause Pidgin to become unresponsive, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-0423).

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.
