  An input sanitization flaw was found in the way Pidgin's MSN protocol
  implementation handled MSNSLP invitations. A remote attacker could send a
  specially-crafted INVITE request that would cause a denial of service
  (memory corruption and Pidgin crash). (CVE-2010-0277)

  A denial of service flaw was found in Finch's XMPP chat implementation,
  when using multi-user chat. If a Finch user in a multi-user chat session
  were to change their nickname to contain the HTML 'br' element, it would
  cause Finch to crash. (CVE-2010-0420)

  Red Hat would like to thank Sadrul Habib Chowdhury of the Pidgin project
  for responsibly reporting the CVE-2010-0420 issue.

  A denial of service flaw was found in the way Pidgin processed emoticon
  images. A remote attacker could flood the victim with emoticon images
  during mutual communication, leading to excessive CPU use. (CVE-2010-0423)

  These packages upgrade Pidgin to version 2.6.6. Refer to the linked Pidgin release
  notes for a full list of changes.

  All Pidgin users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
  correct these issues. Pidgin must be restarted for this update to take
  effect.");
