Denial of service vulnerability in Pidgin via a UDP packet| ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:16936 | Date: (C)2014-03-04 (M)2022-10-10 |
| Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: windows |
The host is installed with Pidgin 2.0.0 and is prone to denial of service vulnerability. The flaw is present in the UPnP functionality in Pidgin, which fails to handle a UDP packet that specifies an arbitrary URL. Successful exploitation could allow remote attackers to trigger the download of arbitrary files and cause a denial of service (memory or disk consumption).
