CVE-2014-3694 [MEDIUM] Pidgin vulnerabilities
Title: Pidgin vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in Pidgin.
Jacob Appelbaum and an anonymous person discovered that Pidgin incorrectly
handled certificate validation. A remote attacker could exploit this to
perform a machine-in-the-middle attack to view sensitive information or alter
encrypted communications. (CVE-2014-3694)
Yves Younan and Richard Johnson discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled
certain malformed MXit emoticons. A malicious remote server or a
machine-in-the-middle could use this issue to cause Pidgin to crash,
resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-3695)
Yves Younan and Richard Johnson discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled
certain malformed Groupwise messages. A malicious remote server or a
machine-in-the-middle could use this issu

CVE-2014-3698 [MEDIUM] CWE-201 pidgin: remote information leak via crafted XMPP message
pidgin: remote information leak via crafted XMPP message
The jabber_idn_validate function in jutil.c in the Jabber protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.10 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory via a crafted XMPP message.
An information disclosure flaw was discovered in the way Pidgin parsed XMPP messages. A malicious remote server or a man-in-the-middle attacker could potentially use this flaw to disclose a portion of memory belonging to the Pidgin process by sending a specially crafted XMPP message.
