Descriptions
The XMPP protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.8 does not properly determine whether the from address in an iq reply is consistent with the to address in an iq request, which allows remote attackers to spoof iq traffic or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted reply.
El plugin del protocolo XMPP en libpurple en Pidgin anterior a 2.10.8 no determina adecuadamente si la dirección origen en una respuesta iq es consistente con la dirección destino en una solicitud iq, lo que permite a atacantes remotos falsificar tráfico iq o causar una denegación de servicio (referencia a un puntero NULL y caída de la aplicación) a través de una respuesta manipulada.
The Yahoo! protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.8 does not properly validate UTF-8 data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted byte sequences. Multiple integer signedness errors in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted timestamp value in an XMPP message. gtkimhtml.c in Pidgin before 2.10.8 does not properly interact with underlying library support for wide Pango layouts, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long URL that is examined with a tooltip. util.c in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.8 does not properly allocate memory for HTTP responses that are inconsistent with the Content-Length header, which allows remote HTTP servers to cause a denial of service via a crafted response. Various other issues were also addressed.
