Background =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Pidgin (formerly Gaim) is an instant messaging client for a variety of instant messaging protocols. Affected packages =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-im/pidgin < 2.5.6 >=3D 2.5.6 Description =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Pidgin: * Veracode reported a boundary error in the "XMPP SOCKS5 bytestream server" when initiating an outgoing file transfer (CVE-2009-1373). * Ka-Hing Cheung reported a heap corruption flaw in the QQ protocol handler (CVE-2009-1374). * A memory corruption flaw in "PurpleCircBuffer" was disclosed by Josef Andrysek (CVE-2009-1375). * 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). Impact =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 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. Workaround =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D All Pidgin users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dnet-im/pidgin-2.5.6" References =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D [ 1 ] CVE-2009-1373 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=3DCVE-2009-1373 [ 2 ] CVE-2009-1374 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=3DCVE-2009-1374 [ 3 ] CVE-2009-1375 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=3DCVE-2009-1375 [ 4 ] CVE-2009-1376 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=3DCVE-2009-1376 [ 5 ] GLSA 200901-13 http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200901-13.xml Availability =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200905-07.xml Concerns? =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
