Category:	FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:	FreeBSD Ports: pidgin, libpurple, finch
Summary:	FreeBSD Ports: pidgin, libpurple, finch
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to the system as announced in the referenced advisory. The following packages are affected: pidgin libpurple finch CVE-2009-2694 The msn_slplink_process_msg function in libpurple/protocols/msn/slplink.c in libpurple, as used in Pidgin (formerly Gaim) before 2.5.9 and Adium 1.3.5 and earlier, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) by sending multiple crafted SLP (aka MSNSLP) messages to trigger an overwrite of an arbitrary memory location. NOTE: this issue reportedly exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2009-1376. Solution: Update your system with the appropriate patches or software upgrades. http://secunia.com/advisories/36384/ http://www.pidgin.im/news/security/?id=34 http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/59e7af2d-8db7-11de-883b-001e3300a30d.html
