  An invalid pointer dereference bug was found in the way the Pidgin OSCAR
  protocol implementation processed lists of contacts. A remote attacker
  could send a specially-crafted contact list to a user running Pidgin,
  causing Pidgin to crash. (CVE-2009-3615)

  A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the Pidgin IRC
  protocol plug-in handles IRC topics. A malicious IRC server could send a
  specially-crafted IRC TOPIC message, which once received by Pidgin, would
  lead to a denial of service (Pidgin crash). (CVE-2009-2703)

  A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the Pidgin MSN
  protocol plug-in handles improper MSNSLP invitations. A remote attacker
  could send a specially-crafted MSNSLP invitation request, which once
  accepted by a valid Pidgin user, would lead to a denial of service (Pidgin
  crash). (CVE-2009-3083)

  backported patches to resolve these issues. Pidgin must be restarted for
  this update to take effect.");
