Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Pidgin (affected versions not specified)

Description An information leak exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol. Specially crafted MXIT data sent via the server could result in an out-of-bounds read. A malicious user, server, or man-in-the-middle can send an invalid size for an avatar, triggering an out-of-bounds read. This could result in a denial of service or copy data from memory to the file, leading to an information leak if the avatar is sent to another user.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
