  messages in the MSN protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a specially
  crafted message and possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
  (CVE-2008-2927)

  It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle file transfers containing
  a long filename and special characters in the MSN protocol handler. A remote
  attacker could send a specially crafted filename in a file transfer request
  and cause Pidgin to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-2955)
  
  It was discovered that Pidgin did not impose resource limitations in the UPnP
  service. A remote attacker could cause Pidgin to download arbitrary files
  and cause a denial of service from memory or disk space exhaustion.
  (CVE-2008-2957)
  
  It was discovered that Pidgin did not validate SSL certificates when using a
  secure connection. If a remote attacker were able to perform a
  man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to view sensitive
  information. This update alters Pidgin behaviour by asking users to confirm
  the validity of a certificate upon initial login. (CVE-2008-3532)";
