Descriptions
The irc_msg_who function in msgs.c in the IRC protocol plugin in libpurple 2.8.0 through 2.9.0 in Pidgin before 2.10.0 does not properly validate characters in nicknames, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted nickname that is not properly handled in a WHO response.
La función irc_msg_who en msgs.c en el plugin del protocolo IRC en libpurple v2.8.0 hasta v2.9.0 en Pidgin anterior a v2.10.0 no valida adecuadamente caracteres en nombres de usuario, lo que permite a atacantes remotos asistidos por el usuario provocar una denegación de servicio (desreferenciar un puntero NULL y caída de la aplicación) a través del nombre de usuario que no se maneja adecuadamente en una respuesta WHO.
