The version of Pidgin installed on the remote host is a version prior to 2.10.8. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  • The bundled version of Pango has an error that can lead to an application crash when rendering fonts and attempting to display certain Unicode characters.

  • Errors exist related to handling unspecified characters, incorrect character encoding, incorrect XMPP timestamps, hovering a pointer over a long URL, unspecified HTTP responses, Yahoo! P2P messages, STUN responses, and IRC arguments that could cause application crashes and denial of service conditions.
    (CVE-2012-6152, CVE-2013-6477, CVE-2013-6478, CVE-2013-6479, CVE-2013-6481, CVE-2013-6484, CVE-2014-0020)

  • Errors exist related to handling MSN SOAP, MSN OIM, and MSN header content that could cause application crashes when NULL pointers are dereferenced.
    (CVE-2013-6482)

  • An error exists related XMPP content such that the ‘from’ portion of some ‘iq’ replies is not verified.
    (CVE-2013-6483)

  • Errors exist related to parsing chunked and Gadu-Gadu HTTP content, MXit emoticons, and SIMPLE headers that could allow buffer overflows.
    (CVE-2013-6485, CVE-2013-6487, CVE-2013-6489, CVE-2013-6490)

  • The application does not protect against links to untrusted executable content. (CVE-2013-6486)
