Subject: BSA-008 Security Update for pidgin



Jan Wagner uploaded new packages for pidgin which fixed the
following security problems:

CVE-2010-3711
  Fixes multiple remotely-triggered DoSes

  http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-3711

For the lenny-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in
version 2.7.3-1~bpo50+2.

For the unstable (sid) distribution, the problem has been fixed in version 
2.7.4-1, for testing (squeeze) the fix should hopefully follow soon.

Upgrade instructions
--------------------

If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the package
manually via "apt-get -t lenny-backports install <packagelist>" with
the packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.
[1] <http://backports.debian.org/Instructions>

We recommend to pin the backports repository to 200 so that new
versions of installed  backports will be installed automatically. 

  Package: *
  Pin: release a=lenny-backports
  Pin-Priority: 200
