issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 11.04 and 11.10. (CVE-2011-4601)
Thijs Alkemade discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled malformed voice and
video chat requests in the XMPP protocol handler. A remote attacker could send

service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 11.04 and 11.10.
(CVE-2011-4602)
Diego Bauche Madero discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled UTF-8
sequences in the SILC protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a

Thijs Alkemade discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled off-line instant
messages in the MSN 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 10.04 LTS, 11.04 and 11.10. (CVE-2012-1178)
José Valentín Gutiérrez discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled SOCKS5 proxy
connections during file transfer requests in the XMPP protocol handler. A
remote attacker could send a specially crafted request and cause Pidgin to
crash, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04
LTS and 11.10. (CVE-2012-2214)
Fabian Yamaguchi discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled malformed messages
in the MSN protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted
message and cause Pidgin to crash, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2012-2318)
Ulf Härnhammar discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled messages with in-line
images in the MXit protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a specially
crafted message and possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
