Descriptions
libpurple in Pidgin before 2.2.1 does not properly handle MSN nudge messages from users who are not on the receiver's buddy list, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a nudge message that triggers an access of "an invalid memory location."
libpurple de Pidgin versiones anteriores a 2.2.1 no gestiona apropiadamente los mensajes personalizados de usuarios que no están en la lista de amigos del receptor, lo cual permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) mediante un mensaje personalizado que dispara un acceso de "ubicación inválida de memoria".
