A malicious remote server or a man in the middle could\nuse this issue to cause applications using libgadu to crash, resulting in a\ndenial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code (CVE-2014-3775).\n\nThe pidgin package was built with a bundled copy of the libgadu library which\ncontained the vulnerable code.  It has now been built against the external\nlibgadu library, which had been fixed in a previous update.\n\nThis update also fixes an issue with the Yahoo! protocol that was caused by a\nbad interaction with the GnuTLS library.\n","modified":"2026-04-16T06:25:10.626059403Z","published":"2014-07-26T11:56:37Z","upstream":["CVE-2014-3775"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0295.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2216-1/"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13420"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"pidgin","ecosystem":"Mageia:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/pidgin?arch=source&distro=mageia-3"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.10.9-1.1.mga3"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0295.json"}},{"package":{"name":"pidgin","ecosystem":"Mageia:4","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/pidgin?arch=source&distro=mageia-4"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.10.9-1.1.mga4"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0295.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
