Descriptions

The msn_slplink_process_msg function in libpurple/protocols/msn/slplink.c in libpurple, as used in Pidgin (formerly Gaim) before 2.5.9 and Adium 1.3.5 and earlier, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) by sending multiple crafted SLP (aka MSNSLP) messages to trigger an overwrite of an arbitrary memory location. NOTE: this issue reportedly exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2009-1376.

La función msn_slplink_process_msg en libpurple/protocols/msn/slplink.c en libpurple, tal como se usa en Pidgin (anteriormente Gaim) en versiones anteriores a la 2.5.9 y Adium 1.3.5 y versiones anteriores, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección o provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de la aplicación) mediante el envío de múltiples mensajes SLP (alias MSNSLP) manipulados para disparar una sobreescritura de una zona de memoria de su elección. NOTA: esta vulnerabilidad reportada está causada por una reparación incompleta de CVE-2009-1376.
