+  <title>Pidgin: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Pidgin, allowing for
+    remote arbitrary code execution, Denial of Service and service spoofing.

+    <p>
+    Pidgin (formerly Gaim) is an instant messaging client for a variety of
+    instant messaging protocols. It is based on the libpurple instant
+    messaging library.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Pidgin and the
+    libpurple library:
+    </p>
+    <ul><li>
+    A participant to the TippingPoint ZDI reported multiple integer
+    overflows in the msn_slplink_process_msg() function in the MSN protocol
+    implementation (CVE-2008-2927).
+    </li>
+    <li>
+    Juan Pablo Lopez Yacubian is credited for reporting a use-after-free
+    flaw in msn_slplink_process_msg() in the MSN protocol implementation
+    (CVE-2008-2955).
+    </li>
+    <li>
+    The included UPnP server does not limit the size of data to be
+    downloaded for UPnP service discovery, according to a report by Andrew
+    Hunt and Christian Grothoff (CVE-2008-2957).
+    </li>
+    <li>
+    Josh Triplett discovered that the NSS plugin for libpurple does not
+    properly verify SSL certificates (CVE-2008-3532).
+    </li>
+    </ul>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could send specially crafted messages or files using
+    the MSN protocol which could result in the execution of arbitrary code
+    or crash Pidgin. NOTE: Successful exploitation might require the
+    victim's interaction. Furthermore, an attacker could conduct
+    man-in-the-middle attacks to obtain sensitive information using bad
+    certificates and cause memory and disk resources to exhaust.
+    </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 &quot;&gt;=net-im/pidgin-2.5.1&quot;</code>
+  </resolution>
