Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pidgin

  CVE-2008-2927 is a remote buffer overflow vulnerability in the MSN
  protocol handler. Apparently it can lead to arbitrary code execution.
  It's not yet in the public vulnerability databases, so please see the
  Debian bug for reference: <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=488632>. I think it is the same issue as
  described in this Bugtraq post
  <http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/493682/30/60/threaded>.
