tag_insight = "Pidgin is a multi-protocol Internet Messaging client.

  An integer overflow flaw was found in Pidgin's MSN protocol handler. If a
  user received a malicious MSN message, it was possible to execute arbitrary
  code with the permissions of the user running Pidgin. (CVE-2008-2927)
  
  Note: the default Pidgin privacy setting only allows messages from users in
  the buddy list. This prevents arbitrary MSN users from exploiting this
  flaw.
  
  This update also addresses the following bug:
  
  * when attempting to connect to the ICQ network, Pidgin would fail to
  connect, present an alert saying the "The client version you are using is
  too old", and de-activate the ICQ account. This update restores Pidgin's
  ability to connect to the ICQ network.
  
  All Pidgin users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
  backported patches to resolve these issues.";
