tag_insight = "It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle certain topic
  messages in the IRC protocol handler. If a user were tricked into
  connecting to a malicious IRC server, an attacker could cause Pidgin to
  crash, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04
  LTS, Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu 9.04. (CVE-2009-2703)

  It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly enforce the "require
  TLS/SSL" setting when connecting to certain older Jabber servers. If a
  remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw
  could be exploited to view sensitive information. This issue only affected
  Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu 9.04. (CVE-2009-3026)
  
  It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle certain SLP invite
  messages in the MSN protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a
  specially crafted invite message and cause Pidgin to crash, leading to a
  denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, Ubuntu 8.10
  and Ubuntu 9.04. (CVE-2009-3083)
  
  It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle certain errors in the
  XMPP protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted
  message and cause Pidgin to crash, leading to a denial of service. This
  issue only affected Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu 9.04. (CVE-2009-3085)
  
  It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle malformed
  contact-list data in the OSCAR protocol handler. A remote attacker could
  send specially crafted contact-list data and cause Pidgin to crash, leading
  to a denial of service. (CVE-2009-3615)
  
  It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle custom smiley
  requests in the MSN protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a
  specially crafted filename in a custom smiley request and obtain arbitrary
  files via directory traversal. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.10, Ubuntu
  9.04 and Ubuntu 9.10. (CVE-2010-0013)
  
  Pidgin for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS was also updated to fix connection issues with
  the MSN protocol.
  
  USN-675-1 and USN-781-1 provided updated Pidgin packages to fix multiple
  security vulnerabilities in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. The security patches to fix
  CVE-2008-2955 and CVE-2009-1376 were incomplete. This update corrects the
  problem. Original advisory details:
  
  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 ...
