Buffer overflow vulnerability in Pidgin via malformed SLP message| ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:16935 | Date: (C)2014-03-04 (M)2024-01-29 |
| Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: windows |
The host is installed with Pidgin before 2.5.6 and is prone to buffer overflow vulnerability. The flaw is present in the msn_slplink_process_msg functions in the MSN protocol handler in (1) libpurple/protocols/msn/slplink.c and (2) libpurple/protocols/msnp9/slplink.c, which fails to handle a malformed SLP message with a crafted offset value. Successful exploitation could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
