Title: Pidgin vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in Pidgin.
Chris Wysopal discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled file transfers in
the MXit protocol handler. A remote attacker could use this issue to create
or overwrite arbitrary files. This issue only affected Ubuntu 11.10,
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.10. (CVE-2013-0271)
It was discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled long HTTP headers in the
MXit protocol handler. A malicious remote server could use this issue to
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2013-0272)
It was discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled long user IDs in the
Sametime protocol handler. A malicious remote server could use this issue
to cause Pidgin to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2013-0273)

CVE-2013-0272 pidgin: MXit protocol stack-based buffer overflow when processing HTTP headers
A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way MXit protocol plug-in of libPurple processed certain HTTP headers data. A rogue server or remote attacker could send a specially-crafted HTTP request that, when processed by the Pidgin client, would lead to pidgin executable crash or, potentially, arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the pidgin binary.
