Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in pidgin: The Yahoo! protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.8 does not properly validate UTF-8 data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted byte sequences . Multiple integer signedness errors in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted timestamp value in an XMPP message . gtkimhtml.c in Pidgin before 2.10.8 does not properly interact with underlying library support for wide Pango layouts, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long URL that is examined with a tooltip . util.c in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.8 does not properly allocate memory for HTTP responses that are inconsistent with the Content-Length header, which allows remote HTTP servers to cause a denial of service via a crafted response . libpurple/protocols/yahoo/libymsg.c in Pidgin before 2.10.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a Yahoo! P2P message with a crafted length field, which triggers a buffer over-read . Pidgin before 2.10.8 allows remote MSN servers to cause a denial of service via a crafted SOAP response, OIM XML response, or Content-Length header . The XMPP protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.8 does not properly determine whether the from address in an iq reply is consistent with the to address in an iq request, which allows remote attackers to spoof iq traffic or cause a denial of service via a crafted reply . The STUN protocol implementation in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.8 allows remote STUN servers to cause a denial of service by triggering a socket read error . Buffer overflow in util.c in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.8 allows remote HTTP servers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via an invalid chunk-size field in chunked transfer-coding data . gtkutils.c in Pidgin before 2.10.8 on Windows allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs via a message containing a file: URL that is improperly handled during construction of an explorer.exe command. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-3185 . Integer overflow in libpurple/protocols/gg/lib/http.c in the Gadu-Gadu parser in Pidgin before 2.10.8 allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a large Content-Length value, which triggers a buffer overflow . Integer signedness error in the MXit functionality in Pidgin before 2.10.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted emoticon value, which triggers an integer overflow and a buffer overflow . The SIMPLE protocol functionality in Pidgin before 2.10.8 allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a negative Content-Length header, which triggers a buffer overflow . The IRC protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.8 does not validate argument counts, which allows remote IRC servers to cause a denial of service via a crafted message . This update provides pidgin 2.10.9, which is not vulnerable to these issues. Additionally a build problem conserning sqlite3 was discovered and fixed, therefore fixed sqlite3 packages is also provided with this advisory.
