5c8641ff9d8829a4bc791d6ebd5e292ed9e0f6181c8a3aa77d4706bac8585743Ubuntu Security Notice USN-675-1 - It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle certain malformed messages in the MSN protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted message and possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle file transfers containing a long filename and special characters in the MSN protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted filename in a file transfer request and cause Pidgin to crash, leading to a denial of service. It was discovered that Pidgin did not impose resource limitations in the UPnP service. A remote attacker could cause Pidgin to download arbitrary files and cause a denial of service from memory or disk space exhaustion. It was discovered that Pidgin did not validate SSL certificates when using a secure connection. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to view sensitive information. This update alters Pidgin behaviour by asking users to confirm the validity of a certificate upon initial login.
