| 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 concerns a problem in the libpurple component of Pidgin, where an inconsistency in HTTP response headers can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service, leading to an application crash. This is achieved by manipulating the HTTP headers, specifically the Content-Length header, allowing remote HTTP servers to craft a response that causes the application to fail.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 2.10.8, update to version 2.10.8 or later to resolve the issue.
