Package : pidgin
Vulnerability : remote code execution
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2012-3374
Debian Bug : #680661
Ulf Härnhammar found a buffer overflow in Pidgin, a multi protocol instant
messaging client. The vulnerability can be exploited by an incoming
message in the MXit protocol plugin. A remote attacker may cause a crash,
and in some circumstances can lead to remote code execution.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.7.3-1+squeeze3.
For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.10.4-1.1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.10.6-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your pidgin packages.
