Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Pidgin versions prior to 4.0.2
Description
The issue is related to a use-after-free vulnerability in the create smp dialog function in gtk-dialog.c in the Off-the-Record Messaging (OTR) pidgin-otr plugin. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the "Authenticate buddy" menu item.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 4.0.2, update to version 4.0.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
create smp dialog function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the "Authenticate buddy" menu item to minimize the risk of exploitation.Correção
