| Vetor | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Pidgin versions prior to 2.10.8
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a Yahoo! P2P message with a crafted length field, which triggers a buffer over-read. This is due to a vulnerability in the Pidgin software, specifically in the subcomponent responsible for working with the Yahoo! protocol.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 2.10.8, update to version 2.10.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the Yahoo! protocol functionality until a patch is available. Restrict access to P2P messages to minimize the risk of exploitation.
