pidgin packages fix security vulnerabilities","description":"In Pidgin before 2.10.10, both of libpurple's bundled SSL/TLS plugins (one\nfor GnuTLS and one for NSS) failed to check that the Basic Constraints\nextension allowed intermediate certificates to act as CAs. This allowed\nanyone with any valid certificate to create a fake certificate for any\narbitrary domain and Pidgin would trust it (CVE-2014-3694).\n\nIn Pidgin before 2.10.10, a malicious server or man-in-the-middle could\ntrigger a crash in libpurple by sending an emoticon with an overly large\nlength value (CVE-2014-3695).\n\nIn Pidgin before 2.10.10, a malicious server or man-in-the-middle could\ntrigger a crash in libpurple by specifying that a large amount of memory\nshould be allocated in many places in the UI (CVE-2014-3696).\n\nIn Pidgin before 2.10.10, a malicious server and possibly even a malicious\nremote user could create a carefully crafted XMPP message that causes\nlibpurple to send an XMPP message containing arbitrary memory\n(CVE-2014-3698).\n\nThe pidgin package has been updated to version 2.10.10 which fixes these\nissues and other bugs.\n","status":"published","published":"2014-10-25T20:23:09Z","modified":"2026-04-16T06:23:16.923064924Z","updated_at":"2026-11-02T15:49:39.488462Z"},{"id":"openSUSE-SU-2024:10432-1","title":"finch-2.11.0-4.1 on GA media","description":"These are all security issues fixed in the finch-2.11.0-4.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.","status":"published","published":"2024-06-15T00:00:00Z","modified":"2026-02-04T03:44:25.607902Z","updated_at":"2026-11-02T16:58:34.487567Z"},{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2014-3698","description":"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.","status":"published","published":"2014-10-23T00:00:00Z","modified":"2026-04-22T09:41:52.054977Z","updated_at":"2026-11-02T15:54:09.010095Z"},{"id":"USN-2390-1","title":"pidgin vulnerabilities","description":"Jacob Appelbaum and an anonymous person discovered that Pidgin incorrectly\nhandled certificate validation.
