Descriptions
The STUN protocol implementation in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.8 allows remote STUN servers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write operation and application crash) by triggering a socket read error.
La implementación del protocolo STUN en libpurple en Pidgin anterior a 2.10.8 permite a servidores STUN remotos causar una denegación de servicio (una operación de escritura fuera de rango y caída de la aplicación) mediante un error de lectura del socket.
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.
