Denial of service vulnerability in Pidgin via a long filename| ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:16931 | Date: (C)2014-03-04 (M)2024-01-29 |
| Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: windows |
The host is installed with Pidgin 2.4.1 and is prone to denial of service vulnerability. The flaw is present in the msn_slplink_process_msg function, which fails to handle a long filename that contains certain characters, as demonstrated using an MSN message that triggers the crash in the msn_slplink_process_msg function. Successful exploitation could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).
