  An input sanitization flaw was found in the way the Pidgin SILC (Secure
  Internet Live Conferencing) protocol plug-in escaped certain UTF-8
  characters. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash Pidgin via a
  specially-crafted SILC message. (CVE-2011-3594)

  Multiple NULL pointer dereference flaws were found in the way the Pidgin
  Yahoo! Messenger Protocol plug-in handled malformed YMSG packets. A remote
  attacker could use these flaws to crash Pidgin via a specially-crafted
  notification message. (CVE-2011-1091)

  Red Hat would like to thank the Pidgin project for reporting CVE-2011-1091.
  Upstream acknowledges Marius Wachtler as the original reporter of
  CVE-2011-1091.

  All Pidgin users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
  backported patches to resolve these issues. Pidgin must be restarted for
  this update to take effect.");
