Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-097 – The msn_emoticon_msg function in slp.c in the MSN protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.7.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a custom emoticon in a malformed SLP message. Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance Program for those products. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
