Multiple null-pointer dereferences were found in the MSN protocol plugin. Details as follows: - NULL pointer dereference when parsing headers in MSN protocol plugin. - NULL pointer dereference when parsing OIM data in MSN protocol plugin. - NULL pointer dereference when parsing SOAP data in MSN protocol plugin. If a remote server provided a specially-crafted MSN message, it could cause pidgin to crash. Acknowledgements: Red Hat would like to thank the Pidgin project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Fabian Yamaguchi and Christian Wressnegger of the University of Goettingen as the original reporters of this issue.
