Descriptions

The OSCAR protocol implementation in Pidgin before 2.5.8 misinterprets the ICQWebMessage message type as the ICQSMS message type, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted ICQ web message that triggers allocation of a large amount of memory.

La implementación del protocolo OSCAR en Pidgin anterior a v2.5.8 no interpreta el tipo de mensaje ICQWebMessage como tipo ICQSMS, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación) a través de un mensaje web ICQ manipulado que lanza una asignación de una gran cantidad de memoria.
