Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Pidgin:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Veracode reported a boundary error in the "XMPP SOCKS5 bytestream
|
|
server" when initiating an outgoing file transfer (CVE-2009-1373).</li>
|
|
<li>Ka-Hing Cheung reported a heap corruption flaw in the QQ protocol
|
|
handler (CVE-2009-1374).</li>
|
|
<li>A memory corruption flaw in
|
|
"PurpleCircBuffer" was disclosed by Josef Andrysek
|
|
(CVE-2009-1375).</li>
|
|
<li>The previous fix for CVE-2008-2927 contains a
|
|
cast from uint64 to size_t, possibly leading to an integer overflow
|
|
(CVE-2009-1376, GLSA 200901-13).</li>
|
|
</ul>

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could send specially crafted messages or files using
|
|
the MSN, XMPP or QQ protocols, possibly resulting in the execution of
|
|
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application,
|
|
or a Denial of Service. NOTE: Successful exploitation might require the
|
|
victim's interaction.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Pidgin users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-im/pidgin-2.5.6"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
