(Pidgin: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Pidgin and the
    libpurple library:
    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).
    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).
    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).
    Josh Triplett discovered that the NSS plugin for libpurple does not
    properly verify SSL certificates (CVE-2008-3532).
  
Impact :

    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.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
