Discussion

Pidgin Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Pidgin is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a user running the software or cause denial-of-service conditions.

Versions prior to Pidgin 2.5.6 are vulnerable.
