  A flaw was found in the way the Pidgin MSN protocol plug-in processed text
  that was not encoded in UTF-8. A remote attacker could use this flaw to
  crash Pidgin by sending a specially-crafted MSN message. (CVE-2012-1178)

  An input validation flaw was found in the way the Pidgin MSN protocol
  plug-in handled MSN notification messages. A malicious server or a remote
  attacker could use this flaw to crash Pidgin by sending a specially-crafted
  MSN notification message. (CVE-2012-2318)

  A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Pidgin MXit protocol plug-in. A
  remote attacker could use this flaw to crash Pidgin by sending a MXit
  message containing specially-crafted emoticon tags. (CVE-2012-3374)

  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.";
